Jared Kushner denies report alleging secret Gulf-Linked financial arrangements during Trump administration

Former White House advisor Jared Kushner, son of U.S. President Donald Trump, has vehemently refuted accusations of hidden deals involving accounts the man has held at the Gulf states.

The report, excerpted from Matthew Cole’s upcoming book, Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed’s Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East, cited intelligence that had tracked Kushner’s iPhone usage through the first Trump administration, including him logging on to a bank account associated with the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The report shows that almost $750 million was deposited in an account belonging to the Watani Al Emarat Foundation, a charity funded by the UAE government, at the First Abu Dhabi Bank. The account allegedly featured Kushner, who was not the account owner.

The account is reputedly watched by bank chairman and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed’s brother Tahnoon bin Zayed.

Kushner denies allegations

The report also claimed UAE-Foreign Ministry officials met with Saudi officials to discuss establishing a fund for the Trump administration’s foreign policy goals. It further alleged Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Mohamed bin Zayed had been part of the talks over the deal.

According to the report, the planned fund never did come into existence, and that $2 billion at least was deposited in two accounts for Kushner.

In a post on X, Kushner dismissed the allegations as “outrageous fabrications” and “categorically false.”

They’ve released fiction as investigative reporting and took issue with these allegations and the credibility behind them, according to him.

The information provided is not independently substantiated by the claims. At the heart of the conflict is Kushner’s denial, and the claims are separated from the unchallengeable revelations.
