Shortly after leaving the White House, Jared Kushner got $2 billion in funding from the Saudi government for his private-equity fund.
Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi crown prince who developed close ties to Kushner, pushed the deal through, the New York Times reported.

With the 2024 campaign looming, Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland is punching back at GOP attempts to investigate the financial dealings of Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden's son.
