House Dems, led by Representatives Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia, have formally requested the Oversight committee to investigate Jared Kushner's foreign business dealings, specifically focusing on the $2 billion he received from Saudi Arabia and his efforts to expand his grift on the American people. Despite the request, Republican leaders, including Representatives James Comer and Glenn Grothman, have signaled a lack of interest in pursuing such a hearing. The Democrats' request aims to scrutinize Kushner's potential influence peddling and threats to national security during his time in the White House. The GOP's reluctance to hold a hearing has been criticized, with Comer defending Kushner by highlighting his pre-political career business legitimacy compared to the Bidens.

The GOP continues to ignore the $2 Billion Jared Kushner received from Saudi Arabia, which is why @RepRaskin and I called for hearings into his business dealings. He uses his time in the White House to expand his grift on the American people. https://t.co/cvTG7G82Mk
