Kushner pushes back on CNN report about Israeli investments tied to military
Kushner said CNN’s report was misleading and noted that Affinity Partners’ stake in Phoenix Financial predates Trump’s return to office.
- Jared Kushner, an unofficial Middle East envoy, broke his 10-year silence on Friday to criticize CNN for publishing a "deeply misleading" report about his business investments and their alleged connection to his diplomatic work.
- CNN reported Thursday that Affinity Partners, Kushner's firm, is the largest shareholder in Phoenix Financial, an Israeli institution with investments in companies supplying the Israeli military.
- The network's investigation acknowledged finding "no indication" that Kushner's diplomatic actions directly influenced the firm's investments, a detail Kushner claimed was obscured behind a paywall.
- Responding to the report, Kushner argued he has no role in deciding what Phoenix buys or sells and noted that Affinity Partners' investment predates President Trump's return to office.
- Ending his self-imposed 10-year silence, Kushner declared he will now publicly rebut coverage he considers distorted, signaling a shift in how he handles media scrutiny of his activities.
