Charles Kushner writes op-ed defending son Jared, family business

Charles Kushner, the founder of Kushner Cos. and father of White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, mounted a defense in an op-ed published Wednesday of the family business and his son's involvement as both come under scrutiny from Democratic investigations.

"Jared’s service to the country has brought unprecedented scrutiny of the Kushner Companies from the media and government investigators," Charles Kushner wrote in The Washington Post.

The founder of the real estate operation argued that the press and critics have painted an incorrect narrative about the company's struggles and have unfairly blamed setbacks on Jared Kushner, who is the president's son-in-law.

Charles Kushner wrote that his son led the company to success and "took several steps to preclude conflicts of interest" when he left the company to join the White House in 2017. Jared Kushner walled himself off from company information, his father wrote, and divested from dozens of partnerships, which his father said came "at a substantial financial cost."

Jared's got this covered. Relax. Take a load off.
