By DAVIS MERRITT
Posted Mar 8, 2018 at 4:30 AM

... after the 2016 election, Charles Kushner .. asked Qatar’s minister of finance to help bail the Kushner family .. company out of a disastrous $1.8 billion investment ... The minister declined.

... Weeks later, Jared Kushner, acting in his .. capacity as .. Trump's point person on Mideast policy, encouraged an economic blockade of Qatar .. that continues, despite .. a key US air base in the country ...

... Kushner, in his White House role, met there with officers of Citigroup and .. Apollo Global Management.

... Citigroup and Apollo .. loaned hundreds of millions .. to the Kushner real estate firm ...

... Qatar’s sovereign investment fund has been a major investor in Apollo.

Those facts are not in dispute and .. raise questions whether those events were .. innocent coincidences ...
