Way back in 1951, The Miami Herald ran the Pulitzer Prize-winning project “Know Your Neighbor” that called out organized crime figures who lived in town.
If U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden’s suspicions about former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law are correct, it might be time to consider an update spotlighting unregistered foreign agents.
Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump’s husband and a former senior advisor to the ex-president, today operates Affinity Partners and the $3 billion in funds it manages out of ninth-floor offices across from the Atlantic Ocean in Sunny Isles Beach.
The couple resides in a waterfront mansion on exclusive Indian Creek Island, a short commute down AIA that the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser’s Office values at $24.4 million.
Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, chairs the Senate Finance Committee. Three weeks ago he sent a six-page, single-spaced letter to Lauren Key, the chief financial officer of Kushner’s private equity firm, expressing his concerns because “99% of the investment funds managed by Affinity Partners (‘Affinity’) comes from foreign sources, primarily the governments of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
“It is deeply concerning that several Middle Eastern governments are using funds managed by Affinity as a means to pay tens of millions of dollars in fees every year to former President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, creating significant conflicts of interest and potential counterintelligence risks.”
