[email protected] Kushner Companies Questionable Business Practices are Another Dent for the Trump Administration By: Teddy Grant The 24-hour news cycle has been dominated by President Trump’s policy decisions, tweets and the investigation into his campaign ties with Russia, but businesses connected to the president and his family continue to raise concerns about the wall between the White House and the president’s private businesses. While investigators from special prosecutor Robert Mueller zero in on Jared Kushner's role in the alleged collusion between the Russian government and the Trump campaign, the real estate company of President Trump's son-in-law is mired in increasingly serious financial and legal problems which could upend the business. Examining Kushner is to look at his family’s real estate empire in New York, New Jersey and the surrounding areas. Kushner Companies, the real estate development firm, handles billions of dollars’ worth of residential and commercial properties throughout the northeast. The company founded by real estate developer Charles Kushner—Jared’s father—presided over some of the biggest deals in real estate.
