House Oversight Committee Democrats are pushing for a hearing to investigate Jared Kushner’s alleged foreign “influence peddling,” citing concerns about national security threats. This move comes as Republicans have focused on President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden in an impeachment investigation. The Democrats highlighted Kushner’s real estate deals with foreign governments and connections made during his time in the Trump administration. Meanwhile, Republicans argue that Biden has also benefited financially from his time in government. The New York Times reported on Kushner’s efforts to finalize real estate deals in Albania and Serbia, utilizing contacts from his White House tenure. Kushner defended his actions, stating that his investments would benefit communities and partners.
