Причём тут Катар
Прошедшая неделя выдалась тяжелой для Джареда Кушнера, но об этом не догадываются потребители канала Fox News.
Fox’s highly rated prime-time and morning programs reach an audience of millions, with Trump himself often watching Fox & Friends and tweeting about it in near-real time. And the hosts of those programs, several of whom are closely tied to the president, don’t seem to want that audience to find out about what his son-in-law has been up to in the White House.

Строго говоря, фактическим ударом по Кушнеру является только лишение доступа к секретным материалам. Остальные новости содержат намеки на возможную коррупцию, пока не до конца подтверждённые, но сногсшибательные, если факт коррупции подтвердится.
Особенно это касается сообщения в издании сомнительной репутации Intercept о том, что политика Кушнера на Ближнем Востоке, в частности поддержка вредной для США блокады Катара, была связана с его желанием получить от катарцев займы и набить карманы.
THE REAL ESTATE firm tied to the family of presidential son-in-law and top White House adviser Jared Kushner made a direct pitch to Qatar’s minister of finance in April 2017 in an attempt to secure investment in a critically distressed asset in the company’s portfolio, according to two sources. At the previously unreported meeting, Jared Kushner’s father Charles, who runs Kushner Companies, and Qatari Finance Minister Ali Sharif Al Emadi discussed financing for the Kushners’ signature 666 Fifth Avenue property in New York City.
The 30-minute meeting, according to two sources in the financial industry who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the potential transaction, included aides to both parties, and was held at a suite at the St. Regis Hotel in New York.

A follow-up meeting was held the next day in a glass-walled conference room at the Kushner property itself, though Al Emadi did not attend the second gathering in person.
The failure to broker the deal would be followed only a month later by a Middle Eastern diplomatic row in which Jared Kushner provided critical support to Qatar’s neighbors. Led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, a group of Middle Eastern countries, with Kushner’s backing, led a diplomatic assault that culminated in a blockade of Qatar. Kushner, according to reports at the time, subsequently undermined efforts by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to bring an end to the standoff.

Пытаясь связать обрывочную информацию в единую нить, комментаторы-конспирологи вспоминают про то, что фирма Apollo, которая выдала Кушнеру необычно крупный займ, является посредником для катарских инвесторов, которые в свою очередь были участниками сделки о продаже акций Роснефти, которая упоминается в досье Стила. Но пока что тут слишком много кажется притянутым за уши.
Несомненно одно - у Мюллера накопились вопросы.
Special counsel Robert Mueller's team has asked witnesses about Kushner's efforts to secure financing for his family's real estate properties, focusing specifically on his discussions during the transition with individuals from Qatar and Turkey, as well as Russia, China and the United Arab Emirates, according to witnesses who have been interviewed as part of the investigation into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign to sway the 2016 election.
As part of the scrutiny of Kushner's discussions with Turks, federal investigators have reached out to Turkish nationals for information on Kushner through the FBI's legal attache office in Ankara, according to two people familiar with the matter. Separately, Qatari government officials visiting the U.S. in late January and early February considered turning over to Mueller what they believe is evidence of efforts by their country's Persian Gulf neighbors in coordination with Kushner to hurt their country, four people familiar with the matter said. The Qatari officials decided against cooperating with Mueller for now out of fear it would further strain the country's relations with the White House, these people said.
