Wealth funds in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar have invested hundreds of millions of dollars with former US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner’s private equity firm, the New York Times reported on Thursday.
According to the report, the Emiratis invested more than $200 million with Kushner’s Affinity Partners, while a Qatari entity also put in a similar sum, the newspaper said, citing people with knowledge of the transactions.
The investment from the UAE came through a sovereign wealth fund, but the Qatari investor’s identity was unclear, the NYT report said.
Last year, a US House of Representatives committee had said it was investigating the Saudi Arabian government’s $2 billion investment with a firm of Kushner.
