   Democrat Probes Jared Kushner Over Israeli Investments

   A top House Democrat is demanding information regarding Jared Kushner's financial investments following media reports that his private equity firm holds a major stake in an Israeli company backing businesses tied to military campaigns. Rep. Robert Garcia, ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, requested investment records from Kushner's firm, Affinity Partners. Kushner has pushed back against the reporting, denying that his Israeli diplomacy could benefit his business interests and dismissing claims linking his firm to Israeli arms businesses as false.
