Resident Donald Trump is so totally corrupt that he runs the US just like he ran Trump University.  If he were a President, not just a Resident infesting the White House, he would be the most corrupt President in US history.  To find multiple examples of scandal, one need look no further than his son-in-law, Jared "666" Kushner.<\/font><\/p>\n

Jared Kushner has problems.<\/p>\n

Special counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s investigators are reportedly interested in the senior White House adviser for a plethora<\/a> of reasons<\/a> \u2014 including, but not limited to<\/a>, the central topic of whether the Trump team worked with Russia to interfere with the 2016 campaign.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kushner\u2019s security clearance was recently downgraded<\/a>. For unclear reasons, the FBI has refused to grant him full \u201ctop secret\u201d status \u2014 throwing his position in the White House into doubt.<\/p>\n

Additionally, and probably not coincidentally, more and more questions have been raised about Kushner\u2019s efforts<\/a> in recent years to drum up investments in his family\u2019s real estate projects \u2014 and whether those efforts inappropriately overlapped with his work in the Trump transition or White House.<\/p>\n

This week alone, the New York Times reported<\/a> that Kushner\u2019s family business got big loans from two US financial institutions shortly after he met with their executives in the White House, and the Washington Post reported<\/a> that foreign officials have discussed using his business entanglements to manipulate him, and NBC News reported<\/a> Mueller is asking whether the Kushner business influenced Trump\u2019s foreign policy. Meanwhile, and separately from Mueller\u2019s probe, federal prosecutors<\/a> and state regulators<\/a> have both recently sought documents on Kushner Companies\u2019 finances.<\/p>\n

Looming over so much of this is the fact that the Kushner company owes $600 million on a money-losing Manhattan tower<\/a> that\u2019s fully due in just one year. The Kushners have spent much of the past few years trying to get wealthy foreigners to finance an expensive redevelopment plan for the property \u2014 but so far, all those efforts have failed…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now, Kushner alone, makes this one of the most scandal ridden governments in US history, but he is just the tip of the iceberg.  Rachel Maddow<\/a> has tied together many of the recent "follow the money" stories the Republican Reich is inflicting on us.<\/font><\/p>\n
