Kushner’s Demise
Concerns into Kushner’s dealings were raised by Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi. David Apol, acting Director of the Office of Government Ethics looked into the matter.
“I have discussed this matter with the White House Counsel’s Office in order to ensure that they have begun the process of ascertaining the facts necessary to determine whether any law or regulation has been violated and whether any additional procedures are necessary to avoid violations in the future,” Apol wrote.
“During that discussion, the White House informed me that they had already begun this process. I have asked the White House to inform me of the results of that process,” Apol added.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller who was the lead investigator in the Russian probe had put pressure on Mueller.
He was also looking into Trump’s financial dealings and was keen on finding any illegal activity. It was believed that there was some connection between Trump and Russia that wasn’t noticeable to the eye.
Despite the belief of Russian collusion, nothing concrete was found and the inquiry continued on its way.
