1. FYI: Kushner is leading the Iran peace negotiations and now the Trump administration is pursuing a plan to tank the negotiations by transferring billions in frozen assets to the foreign governments that have Kushner on their payroll.
3. The initiative, Bloomberg reports, “risks further chilling negotiations on a truce extension, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and paving the way for more detailed talks over Iran’s nuclear program.”
Interesting is that the new "plan" is to take Iran's frozen assets and give them to Jared Kushner's clients 🤔

5. The White House and representatives for Kushner defend his conduct, claiming Kushner has “always operated in the best interests of the United States.”
This is unfalsifiable since both Kushner's private equity business and his diplomatic work occur behind closed doors.
