What happened
Vanity FairVanity FairAmerican monthly periodical about popular culture, fashion, and current affairs; established in 1913, ran until 1936, then revived in 1983 published an excerpt from journalist Matthew Cole’s forthcoming book alleging Jared Kushner
Jared KushnerAmerican businessman and real estate investor (born 1981) had access to secret foreign accounts connected to Gulf leaders. Cole alleges Saudi and Emirati leaders placed about $2 billion into accounts tied to Kushner, while Kushner says it never happened and his lawyer says no accounts existed. Kushner was a senior White House adviser during that period. Cole writes that such access could have raised financial-disclosure and foreign-agent-law concerns. Kushner called the allegations false and unsupported by verifiable evidence. His lawyer said Kushner had no knowledge of an alleged account. Kushner said any foreign-policy arrangements had presidential approval. The allegations remain unverified, and Cole’s book is forthcoming.
How the left told it
Left-leaning outlets treated the story as an explosive test of Kushner’s finances, national-security exposure, and denial strategy. Daily Beast centered the alleged phone hack as a striking intelligence breach that could expose Kushner’s secrets. Common Dreams leaned into a possible corruption trail involving Gulf rulers, foreign-policy influence, and murky recipients. MEDIAite emphasized Kushner’s fierce response, with him calling the claims fabricated.
