For his part,
Kushner reported drawing income from dozens of companies tied to his
family’s real estate company. In all, he pulled in at least $70 million,
the documents show.
Kushner
disclosed that he had failed last year to report several stakes in
limited-liability companies — including Vegas Seven, an online news
publication in Las Vegas, and the Veggie Grill, a restaurant in
Manhattan Beach, Calif. The filing noted that Kushner divested himself
of his stakes before joining the White House but did not report the
assets previously because of an accounting oversight.
Kushner
Cos. has reported more than $2 billion in transactions in the past two
years, including developments in Times Square and Jersey City. A
Washington Post analysis of his holdings last year showed that Kushner
had retained about 90 percent of his real estate holdings.
Before
entering the White House, Kushner sold his stake in 666 Fifth Ave., the
Kushner Cos.’ Manhattan building plagued by debt of more than
$1 billion, to a trust controlled by his mother. (Kushner is not a
beneficiary of the trust.)
In a wide-ranging
interview in late May with the Real Deal, a New York City real estate
publication, Kushner’s father derided ethics watchdogs as “jerks” who
“can’t get a real job” and suggested that the criticism may discourage
rich and successful people from taking government positions.
“I
look at what my kids have sacrificed to go into government, with the
only intent of doing good for this country and for the world, and to
help people,” Charles Kushner told the Real Deal.
“And what they have sacrificed, and the daily barrage of negative
media, and the attacks they get, and they had a perfect, beautiful life
and they still have a very good life, but they sacrificed a lot.”
The White House also released the financial disclosures of more than two dozen other staffers Monday.
National
security adviser John Bolton reported making $2.2 million in income
last year, including $569,000 from Fox News, where he was a paid
contributor. Bolton also received a $240,000 salary from the American
Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, and $155,000 from the
Gatestone Institute — a group that has raised fears about Muslims in
Europe, sometimes through claims that have been debunked. Bolton served
as that group’s chairman.
Bolton also reported
$165,000 from Counter Extremism Project United, a nonprofit entity that
seeks to combat extremist groups, and $747,000 from speaking fees.
The
largest speaking fees came from a foundation run by Ukrainian steel
magnate Viktor Pinchuk, which paid Bolton $115,000 for speeches in
September 2017 and February 2018. Pinchuk, who generally advocates for
closer ties between Ukraine and the West, also donated $150,000 to
President Trump’s charitable foundation in exchange for a short speech
Trump made to one of Pinchuk’s conferences by video in 2015.
Bolton
also reported $118,000 for speaking to large banks: Deutsche Bank paid
him $72,000 for a speech in May 2017, and British bank HSBC paid him
$46,000 for speeches in June and August 2017.
Christopher
Liddell, the deputy chief of staff for policy coordination and a former
executive at Microsoft and General Motors, reported income from capital
gains and interest from investments in dozens of companies, technology
projects and real estate. Liddell joined the administration during the
transition and was involved with the White House Office of American
Innovation, which was led by Jared Kushner.
He reported
nearly 700 different securities sales involving several hundred
companies, including major corporations such as Costco Wholesale, Walt
Disney, Wynn Resorts, Delta Air Lines and Dow Chemical. The majority of these sales were made in February 2017, about a month after the inauguration.

Jared
Kushner and Ivanka Trump made at least $82 million in outside income
last year while serving in the White House, filings show
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, the president’s daughter and son-in-law, brought in at least $82 millionin
outside income while serving as senior White House advisers during
2017, according to financial disclosure forms released Monday.
Trump earned $3.9 million from her stake in the Trump International Hotel
in Washington and more than $2 million in severance from the Trump
Organization, while Kushner reported over $5 million in income from
Quail Ridge, a Kushner Cos. apartment complex acquired last year in
Plainsboro, N.J.
The filings show how the couple
are collecting immense sums from other enterprises while serving in the
White House, an extraordinary income flow that ethics experts have
warned could create potential conflicts of interests.
Both Kushner and Trump have given up daily oversight of their companies as they work as unpaid senior advisers to the president.
But
while Kushner divested some holdings, he and his wife have maintained
large stakes in businesses with domestic and foreign ties. Kushner’s
family real estate company has properties around the country, including
thousands of apartment units in states including New Jersey and
Maryland. Trump’s eponymous clothing and accessories line is produced exclusively in foreign factories in countries such as Bangladesh, Indonesia and China.
Last year, Kushner’s assets were
worth between $179 million and $735 million, while Trump’s assets were
valued between about $55.3 million and $75.6 million, according to a
Washington Post estimate of their filings. Some of their assets were
jointly listed.
It is difficult to calculate net
worth using the forms, in part because the Office of Government Ethics
uses broad ranges for assets and liabilities.
In
an email statement, Peter Mirijanian — a spokesman for Abbe Lowell,
Kushner’s and Trump’s ethics counsel — said that the couple have
followed all ethics rules and that Monday’s disclosures are an
insufficient way to understand the nuances of their net worth.
“Since
joining the administration, Mr. Kushner and Ms. Trump have complied
with the rules and restrictions as set out by the Office of Government
Ethics,” Mirijanian said. “As to the current filing which OGE also
reviews, their net worth remains largely the same, with changes
reflecting more the way the form requires disclosure than any
substantial difference in assets or liabilities.”
In their last financial disclosure, filed in July 2017, the couple reported jointly
making at least $19 million in income from business ventures and
$80 million in real estate and other revenue between January 2016 and
the first months of 2017.
Because their newest filings cover
a shorter period of time — the 2017 calendar year — and include some
income that was previously disclosed, it is impossible to make a direct
comparison to their previous reported income.
Trump
earned at least $12 million last year, with the largest source of
income coming from the trust that oversees her clothing brand, which
paid her more than $5 million, the filings show.
The
new filings reflect a change in the structure of Trump’s payments from
limited-liability companies affiliated with the Trump Organization.
Trump will now receive guaranteed fixed yearly payments instead of
payments based on profits from three companies tied to the Trump
Organization’s international projects.
The
change was made in consultation with Office of Government Ethics
officials to reduce her “interest in the performance of the business,”
according to her filing. Her share of that payment in 2017 was $747,622,
the filing shows.
Trump’s
$2 million in severance came after she left the Trump Organization in
January of last year when her father was inaugurated. She officially
joined the White House as an unpaid senior adviser in March 2017, after
her initial attempts to serve as an informal adviser raised ethics
questions.
Trump was also paid a $289,300
advance by Penguin Random House for her book, “Women Who Work,” which
she donated to the Ivanka M. Trump Charitable Fund to distribute grants
to support women and girls...... (continued in next post)
But they have both sacrificed immensely to give of themselves to public service.
I know where he’s at, getting credit extensions from Israeli banks while allegedly representing the US in Middle East peace negotiations. Read up past Ruddy Ghouliani.
Apparently not having full security clearance to view CIA documents that require compartmentalization that cross Team Trump Treadon’s desk. Yet he does access them. Kompromont? Now imagine if it were Chelsea.
Funny. Interesting. The guy, the boy wonder, the goy, with all that’s going on, not a peep? With a security clearance no less. Not a whisper, nor a scream? Hmmmmm, I guess it really was all about 666 5th Avenue?
Middle East peace, prison reform, NAFTA, and ???????????? Hello Team Mueller?
