House Judiciary Committee Republican leader Jim Jordan defended former president Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner against scrutiny of his foreign business dealings while in the White House overseeing Middle East policy.
Jordan said such scrutiny of Kushner was “ridiculous” given investigations into Trump.
“The idea that Jared Kushner did something wrong is ridiculous,” Jordan said.
During Hunter Biden’s testimony to the committee about his own business activities, Biden distinguished his independent work from foreign governments, unlike Kushner who secured a $2 billion Saudi investment after leaving office, raising questions given the Saudi crown prince’s alliance with the Trump administration.
“I mean, the Trump family has been investigated more than any family on the planet, and what they’ve attempted to do to President Trump and been doing to President Trump over the last seven years is unbelievable,” he said.
Democrats said Biden flipped the questioning back on Republicans during the closed-door session.
“He drew the distinction between what he has done in a business world with independent businessmen, versus foreign governments, which he did not do any business with — unlike Jared Kushner,” Rep. Dan Goldman said.
