Kushner Rebukes 'Completely Insane' Report Over Hacked Phone, Secret Talks

A Vanity Fair report examines alleged secret financial arrangements connecting Kushner to Israel, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's special envoy and son-in-law, has dismissed allegations raised in a recent Vanity Fair report as "completely insane" and "outrageous fabrications." The report claims that Dutch intelligence monitored Kushner's phone and uncovered secret financial arrangements involving Middle Eastern governments.

However, Kushner refuted every claim, stating that he has no knowledge of the alleged transactions and has provided over 30 hours of testimony during investigations. The report alleges that Dutch intelligence obtained screenshots of Kushner's iPhone through files found on a Russian military intelligence operative's server and monitored his phone activity.

It also claims that Kushner had access to a United Arab Emirates-linked bank account and was a signatory on an account in Israel. Kushner's attorney, Chad Mizelle, called the central allegation in the book categorically false, stating that there are no bank accounts and that the claims are defamatory without evidence.
