In a recent discussion on The Bulwark podcast, investigative author Casey Michel claimed that Jared Kushner's foreign business dealings overshadow those of Hunter Biden. Michel, who is set to release a book titled 'United States of Oligarchy', argued that while Hunter Biden's paintings fetch up to $100,000, Kushner's financial gains, primarily through his private equity firm Affinity Partners, are exponentially greater. Affinity Partners' assets surged from $3 billion to $4.8 billion following substantial investments from Gulf investors, including Qatar's sovereign wealth fund. Kushner, who operates without Senate confirmation or traditional diplomatic credentials, is involved in U.S. negotiations regarding Gaza, Ukraine, and Iran. This dual role has raised eyebrows, even among Republicans like Senator Thom Tillis, who questioned the lack of oversight. Additionally, a letter from House Oversight Democrats highlighted that Kushner's firm has earned approximately $157 million from foreign clients, prompting concerns about potential unregistered foreign agent status. Michel's remarks suggest a stark contrast in the scrutiny faced by Kushner compared to the investigations into Hunter Biden's business ties.
