The whole situation is shady as hell. Basically Kushner invested in a big giant poop at 666 5th ave. An over a billion dollar poop. They've been trying to get bailed out of it by foreign investors for a while. A sweetheart deal with a Chinese group fell through after the terms were made public because they were so stupid it was clearly a way to get leverage. They then reached out to Qatar which has a massive sovereign fund. Qatar eventually refused. Coincidentally, a blockade on Qatar by other ME nations happens a month later, supported by Trump but not by his own SOS Tillerson and SOD Mattis, while Kushner is really running Middle East policy. Not too long after, an investment group of which the Qataris are the second largest funders, bails out Kushner. Nothing to see here, move along now.
