Very interesting move. Turkish President Erdogan's son-in-law, who had served as intermediary to Trump via Jared Kushner (another son in law), resigns unexpectedly from his government post in Turkey. Must be more to this story. Albayrak had been considered possible successor.

Here is Berat Albayrak and Jared Kushner with Turkish President Erodgan at a meeting in Turkey--and our story on the ties between Kushner and Albayrak. with @ddknyt nytimes.com/2019/11/12/us/…
Albayrak had also been referenced (indirectly) during testimony in federal district court in Manhattan and other court documents as having signed off on Iran sanctions violations by a Turkish-owned bank targeted by federal prosecutors. 
Here is more background on that Halkbank case. The story continues to unfold. @BenWeiserNYT nytimes.com/2020/10/29/us/…
See that Bloomberg is reporting that resignation has occurred. But Reuters is reporting that Turkish government has not confirmed. Remains possible his social media account was hacked. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
NYT story on Albayrak's resignation @carlottagall nytimes.com/2020/11/08/bus…
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan late Monday accepted the resignation of his finance minister and son-in-law, Berat Albayrak. So this is real. And now done.
