Staffers from the Trump administration keep running into bad luck as it was recently revealed that Jared Kushner, a senior White House adviser, failed to disclose loans that amounted to at least one billion dollars. For those unaware, Kushner is also Donald Trump’s son-in-law.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Kushner released a personal financial disclosure to the public that was revised. In the revised version, it was noted that his original filing left out many assets including a New Jersey liquor license, bonds issued by the NY water and sewer authority, commercial real estate, and more. Along with leaving those things out, Kushner didn’t originally mention that he had loans totaling to about $1 billion from over 20 lenders. Kushner gave personal guarantees on over $300 million that he owes. Kushner’s lawyer noted that he is not required to disclose those loans.
Despite failing to disclose all of his assets, Kushner’s lawyer issued a statement on behalf of Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump, saying “Jared and Ivanka have followed each of the required steps in their transition from private citizens to federal officials.”
