Josh Kushner Wooed Saudi Investors Ahead of Jared's Trip to Riyadh
------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, The New York Times is reporting Jared Kushner's brother, Josh
Kushner, traveled to Saudi Arabia in October 2017 seeking investors for
his venture capital firm-just days before Jared Kushner also traveled to
the kingdom to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on White House
business. Government ethics lawyers say Josh Kushner's visit posed a
potential conflict of interest. It came just one week before the crown
prince ordered Saudi police to arrest about 200 prominent businessmen
and former officials-holding them captive in Riyadh's Ritz-Carlton
hotel, where many later said they were tortured.
