Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner
Dutch investigators gained access to a Russian military intelligence-linked server through a Russian hacker who agreed to cooperate with British and Dutch authorities, according to Vanity Fair. US president Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has denied allegations linking him to secret foreign bank accounts and hundreds of millions of dollars in transfers. The claims involve alleged financial arrangements connected to Israel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia. The server contained screenshots of Kushner’s iPhone, allowing investigators to view his screen as he used it.
The report alleged that Kushner accessed a UAE-linked bank account that received around $750 million through transfers routed via Azerbaijan. It said the broader proposal did not materialise as planned, but alleged that at least $2 billion was subsequently placed in two or more accounts. Vanity Fair also alleged that around $1 billion was transferred to Israel via Azerbaijan into a separate account.
He wanted normalization with Israel so that business could take off,” the report said, quoting a source.
It said some of the money may have been moved through Cyprus, while acknowledging that aspects of the alleged transactions remained unclear. “The allegations made by this author are completely insane and never happened,” he said. Dutch spies monitored activity on his phone and uncovered purported secret financial arrangements involving Saudi, Emirati, and Israeli leaders, allegedly in return for pushing their agenda with Trump, according to a new Vanity Fair report. It is a mixture of fantasy, fiction, and advocacy, written by someone who is either deeply disturbed or acting with sinister intent,” he said in a post on X.
The account was held at First Abu Dhabi Bank and linked to the Watani Al Emarat Foundation, a UAE government-funded charity. Kushner was reportedly a signatory, although the account was not technically his. The publication alleged that UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman initially discussed funding a foreign policy fund with Kushner during Donald Trump’s first administration. “Jared promised MBZ that he’d push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a fund. This is not journalism.
