The State Department has yet to release details about a 2017 secretive meeting in China with private equity investors convened by the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and U.S. Ambassador Terry Branstad: cnbc.com/2020/01/30/tru…
At the time of the meeting, the Kushner family was under fire for its pursuit of overseas investors while Jared Kushner occupied a senior role working in foreign policy.

Trump's family members have a habit of mixing government and business. Just like Trump himself...
While we don't know the details of the meeting either, we did obtain a 2017 note from Terry Branstad thanking Jared Kushner for the "essential role" he played in the president’s visit. It is unclear what essential role he played: americanoversight.org/document/state…
Also, a reminder that Jared Kushner is not qualified for his job and has no background in foreign policy but has still been working in the White House for more than three years.

Even with the overwhelming evidence of the president’s Ukraine scheme that has already accumulated, numerous questions remain — particularly about the potential involvement of top administration officials. We’re still seeking answers. americanoversight.org/the-ukraine-in…
We know that VP Pence had two engagements with President Zelensky during and immediately following the withholding of Ukraine aid, and had been originally slated to attend Zelensky’s inauguration in May 2019. americanoversight.org/the-investigat…
Documents we obtained from the State Department show a clear line of communication between Pompeo and Rudy Giuliani in March 2019, as the smear campaign against Amb. Marie Yovanovitch was heating up. americanoversight.org/state-departme…

The facts indeed have continued to emerge. Just today, @just_security reported on unredacted versions of emails we got through FOIA — showing OMB misled Congress about the Ukraine aid freeze: justsecurity.org/68614/exclusiv…
The unredacted emails also highlight the involvement of OMB general counsel Mark Paoletta — who has been reviewing redactions on released documents and was himself a central figure in the administration's efforts to withhold aid.

More questions about the Ukraine scheme remain, including about the potential involvement of top Trump administration officials. The facts will come out in the end — and we haven't reached the end. americanoversight.org/the-ukraine-in…

President Trump may have been nominally acquitted yesterday, but the public still needs the truth about the administration's Ukraine dealings. We're suing the State Dept. for records related to VP Mike Pence's involvement in the Ukraine pressure campaign: americanoversight.org/document/compl…
We're asking for records related to VP Pence's communications with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, records from his August/September 2019 trip to Europe, and communications between the Office of the Vice President and top State officials: americanoversight.org/document/compl…
The president is not above accountability. The paper trail is going to continue to come out. We have five more Ukraine-related document production deadlines scheduled in the next six weeks: americanoversight.org/investigation/…

While literally every other Trump luminary has been stonewalling Congressional Oversight, Tillerson secretly met with House Foreign Affairs yesterday, to discuss his experiences with Trump as his SOS. This is interesting. #WednesdayWisdom

ICYMI: Here's the WaPo pc about Kushner being the 'Sr WH Official 1' identified as having been initially denied security clearance (for several reasons concerning NatSec) before the denial was overturned by Trump. IMPORTANT read! #ThursdayThoughts

>>> 🚨Overruling the CIA, Trump directly ordered COS John Kelly to grant his son-in-law Jared #Kushner a TOP-SECRET security clearance. (Sometimes mobsters do give direct orders; shocking a US General followed them) nytimes.com/2019/02/28/us/… h/t @yashar
Trump’s decision so troubled senior administration officials that COS John Kelly wrote a contemporaneous internal memo to document he had been ORDERED to give #Kushner the top-secret security clearance. WH counsel McGahn also wrote a memo of CIA & others' concerns about Kushner.
Ivanka's truth quotient: ZERO:
>> "The president had no involvement pertaining to my clearance or my husband's clearance—zero”

(NYT reports today Trump "ordered" Kelly to overrule CIA and grant Kushner top-secret security clearance. See above)

In the aftermath of the brutal murder of Jamal #Khashoggi, we must keep an eye on Trump and his son-in-law Jared #Kushner, and examine their real motives in setting US policy. Are they abusing their power for their own ends?

[THREAD]
1/ With respect to the assassination, both Trump and Kushner both have skin in the game.
2/ Saudi Arabia was the first state visit Trump made as president, a trip organized and pushed for by Jared Kushner, who is chummy with the Crown Prince and has acted as the de facto ambassador to the Kingdom.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
