BREAKING: Multiple US Senators just sent the WH a letter accusing Jared Kushner of using the COVID-19 pandemic to enrich companies that he's connected with. They are demanding that the WH preserves all records! Meanwhile the GOP is pushing the false #CoronaWillEndSoon hashtag.
The Letter, sent by Senators Elizabeth Warren, Richard Blumenthal & Thomas Carper to the WH can be read in it's entirety below, but I'll summarize the stunning allegations in this thread, in regards to Kushner and Trump apparently using COVID19 to profit. warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
The Letter is addressed to The Senior Counsel to the President and Designated Ethics Official, Scott Gast, it starts off saying, "We write regarding a series of recent reports that raise significant ethics and conflict of interest
concerns about the WH Coronavirus Task Force"
concerns about the WH Coronavirus Task Force"
THIS IS DAMNING! The letter touches on multiple examples where Jared Kushner, Donald Trump and "other individuals with financial conflicts of interest" may have been intentionally profiting off of Trump's response to #COVID19. (Thread)
Kushner is accused of running a "shadow task force" that's hidden from the public, that has had "substantial and often disruptive influence over WH" #COVID19 policy. Several companies with connections to the Trumps & Kushners are benefiting financially from the COVID19 response.
Oscar Insurance Corporation (Oscar Health), a company co-founded by Jared Kushner's brother has been appointed to develop a website for #COVID19 test sites, and then they misled the public on what it was really going to do.
The US Senators say "This confusing interaction raises obvious questions about whether Mr. Kushner 'may have mingled his family’s business interests with his political
interests and his role in the administration’s coronavirus response.'" It doesn't end there though (THREAD)

Apollo Global Management, a company that has lent Kushner $200 million has "been pressing government officials in recent weeks to expand
the types of assets eligible to be offered as collateral in a Federal Reserve lending program." And they appears to have received favors.

This is where it gets really damning:
"senior government officials and well-connected, non-government donors who are—or may be—advising President Trump either formally or informally on #Covid_19 appear to have financial interests in hydroxychloroquine and the FDA’s decision."

According to reports,
