Trump's son-in-law is using his unofficial role as Mideast peace negotiator to raise money from the same Gulf governments he's negotiating with — a clear conflict of interest.

• Kushner is raising $5 billion or more for his firm Affinity Partners, mostly from Gulf states like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar.
• He's negotiating peace deals for those same countries in Switzerland, then asking them for money — Saudi Arabia's sovereign fund is already his biggest backer.
• In 2024 he promised not to raise foreign capital while tied to the administration; that promise is broken.
• A leaked story about Kushner being angry at Israel looks convenient, since Gulf investors are now furious at Israel over the Iran war — but Affinity's money still flows into Israeli companies.
• It fits a wider pattern: Trump's memecoin, no-bid Pentagon contracts for his sons' drone firms, and a jet gifted by Qatar.

Outlook: Expect more fundraising from Gulf wealth funds, with little chance the Republican-led House Oversight Committee investigates.
