Washington: Fresh allegations have surfaced involving Jared Kushner, former US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, who has been associated with temporary peace negotiation teams in the United States.
According to claims attributed to a Netherlands-based intelligence agency, Kushner’s iPhone was covertly monitored. The agency said it obtained information while examining data linked to a server connected to Russia’s military intelligence, accessed through a hacker.
The details were published by author Matthew Golan in a book, the report said. It alleges that $750 million routed through Azerbaijan was deposited into a UAE-linked bank account that was initially opened at a bank in Abu Dhabi and connected to a charity said to operate with UAE government support. While the account was not opened by Kushner, the book claims he had signing authority.
The book further alleges that during Trump’s first term, Kushner discussed funding for a “foreign policy fund” with UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and that he assured support in pressing Trump if funding was provided. It also claims that $2 billion was deposited into two or more accounts for Kushner, with $1 billion later transferred via Azerbaijan to an account in Israel, and additional sums moved through Cyprus, without clarity on the purpose.
Kushner has denied the allegations, calling them “blatant and completely false,” and said no evidence such as bank statements, transfer records, account details or transaction dates has been provided.
