Kushner created a company that turned into a private equity fund the day after he left the White House and “structured those funds in such a way that it did not have to disclose the source.” And filings from the Securities and Exchange Commission show that Kushner has declined to describe how almost all of his fund’s assets are from a sovereign wealth fund. The Post reports that Kushner’s company “stands to receive a $25 million management fee annually from the Saudi investment plus a share of the profits.”
In other words, Kushner has sought to block the public from knowing about the source of investment in his company. It’s legal, but it isn't appropriate. Kushner was a senior White House official, and details about who invested in a company he launched the day after he left the White House are a matter of public interest. Kushner treated Saudi Arabia especially well when he was at the White House. Among other things, he worked to shield MBS from diplomatic consequences after the murder of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi, which the U.S. intelligence community believes MBS ordered. Kushner also developed a close personal relationship with MBS — they reportedly chatted late into the night several times during a personal visit.
