Sister of Trump son-in-law, a White House adviser, pitches $500,000 investments in exchange for US permanent residency
The sister of U. S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law is in China courting wealthy people to invest $500,000 in luxury apartment towers outside New York City as part of a program that would grant them permanent U. S. residency.
Nicole Kushner Meyer, the sister of Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, one of the president’s top White House advisers, spoke Sunday to potential investors in Shanghai after making the same pitch the day before in Beijing. Meyer told more than 100 people at a Beijing hotel that the $976 million project — twin 66-story towers with nearly 1,500 apartments — “means a lot to me and my entire family.”
She mentioned that her brother formerly was chief executive of the Kushner Companies, a position he resigned as he and his wife, Trump’s oldest daughter Ivanka, moved to Washington and joined Trump’s staff.
Jared Kushner, to avoid business conflicts with his White House role, divested himself of parts of his family business as he assumed his White House role, including a connection with One Journal Square project in Jersey City, New Jersey that his sister was promoting.
There was no visible mention of Jared Kushner’s link to Trump at the Beijing event, but promotional posters bore the slogan, “Government supports it; Celebrity property developer builds it.
