What happened
Journalist Matthew Cole’s forthcoming book alleges Dutch intelligence accessed screenshots from Jared Kushner
Jared KushnerAmerican businessman and real estate investor (born 1981)’s iPhone and saw him log into a UAE bank account. The book also alleges Saudi and Emirati leaders put more than $2 billion into secret bank accounts linked to Kushner, who was a senior adviser in Donald Trump’s first administration; Kushner says that is false and no accounts existed. The alleged accounts were described as off-the-books money for diplomatic objectives during Kushner’s Middle East work. Kushner said no verifiable evidence had been provided, and his lawyer threatened legal action. Trump called the report false. Any lawsuit and independent verification remain unresolved.
How the left told it
Left-leaning outlets treated the claims as a corruption and intelligence-breach story, while stressing the denials and credibility fight. New Republic framed the allegations around secret foreign slush funds and financial ties to Middle Eastern rulers. Daily Beast emphasized the alleged phone compromise as a major exposure of Kushner’s secrets to foreign spies. MEDIAite highlighted The Jerusalem Post’s removal of its story over “significant factual questions”.
How the right told it
Only one right-leaning outlet we track covered this: ZeroHedge, under the headline “Kushner Denies Bombshell Book Claims Of Secret Gulf-Funded Accounts”.
