Democrats Smell Wrongdoing In Jared Kushner Probe

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi pushed for answers over the conflicting statements around whether the White House investigated more than $500 million in loans to Jared Kushner's family-run real estate business on Wednesday, and said he and fellow Democrats “smell wrongdoing.”

“I and others have developed a strong sense of smell for corruption and wrongdoing in government,” Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform told Newsweek on Wednesday. “We smell wrongdoing right now at the White House.”

The White House had launched an investigation into loans that Citigroup and Apollo Management Group reportedly made to Kushner Cos. after meeting with Kushner in his official capacity, the acting director and general counsel of the Office of Government Ethics told Krishnamoorthi in a letter made public Monday.

But on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders countered the letter, saying that attorneys were “not probing whether Jared Kushner violated the law.”

2. I thought we heard on Tuesday that the so-called WH investigation had been completed

And that no instance of wrongdoing had been discovered.

Or was that just a bad dream?

but OF COURSE the Trump White House is not going to investigate wrongdoings of ANY sort.

When they reported to the Office of Government Ethics that they were already investigating Kushner, everyone should have assumed they were lying.
