House Committee probing Saudi investment with Kushner's firm

A US House of Representatives committee said on Thursday that it was investigating the Saudi Arabian government's $2 billion investment with Affinity, a firm of Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, Reuters reported.

"The Committee on Oversight and Reform is investigating whether you (Kushner) have improperly traded on your government position to obtain billions of dollars from the Saudi government and whether your personal financial interests improperly influenced US foreign policy during the administration of your father-in-law, former President Trump," Representative Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), who leads the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, said in a letter.
