    No, no! Not Hunter Biden.

    Jared Kushner.

    'Six months after leaving the White House, Jared Kushner secured a $2
    billion investment from a fund led by the Saudi crown prince, a close
    ally during the Trump administration, despite objections from the fund’s advisers about the merits of the deal.

    A panel that screens investments for the main Saudi sovereign wealth
    fund cited concerns about the proposed deal with Mr. Kushner’s newly
    formed private equity firm, Affinity Partners, previously undisclosed
    documents show.'

    'Those objections included: “the inexperience of the Affinity Fund management”; the possibility that the kingdom would be responsible for
    “the bulk of the investment and risk”; due diligence on the fledgling firm’s operations that found them “unsatisfactory in all aspects”; a proposed asset management fee that “seems excessive”; and “public relations risks” from Mr. Kushner’s prior role as a senior adviser to
    his father-in-law, former President Donald J. Trump, according to
    minutes of the panel’s meeting last June 30.'


    And it it wasn't about influence, why did

    'Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman suggest[] the money could be moved if
    Trump, who currently leads the 2024 GOP primary field, loses the 2024 Election.'
