- CREW filed the lawsuit on October 14, alleging Kushner unlawfully exercises government authority as a senior envoy.
- The lawsuit alleges Kushner was neither Senate-confirmed nor had filed a financial disclosure.
- According to the lawsuit, Kushner’s investment firm manages over $6 billion, with approximately 99% owned by foreign investors.
- Kushner’s attorney rejects the lawsuit, saying ethics advisers confirmed his uncompensated volunteer service complies with applicable requirements.
declining a salary and formal title does not change the reality of Kushner’s role — he exercises significant executive authority and has done so continuously throughout most of President Trump’s second term. And it certainly does not free him from the constitutional constraints of the Appointments Clause or the obligation to file public financial disclosures under the Ethics Act.— From the CREW filing in the lawsuit (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington).
