Former Obama deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner engaged in a “level of corruption that we’ve just never seen” when talking about his firm’s recent investments overseas.

Rhodes said that Kushner engaged in corruption when asked about The New York Times’s recent reporting that detailed that 99 percent of his investment fund’s money came from foreign sources. The outlet also reported Kushner is working on developing hotels in the Balkans, specifically in Serbia and Albania, and noted that the firm has taken money from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

“I mean, look, this is not subtle corruption that we’re looking at,” Rhodes told MSNBC’s Alex Wagner during his Wednesday appearance on “Alex Wagner Tonight.”

“This is a guy, Jared Kushner, who had no expertise, no qualification whatsoever to be in the White House while he was there. He made it his account to work in the Gulf Arab states. He basically helped lead the cover-up for [Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud]. Get him in from the cold after the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.”

    Well, I appreciate you being willing to share.

    And thank you for helping me to understand that not all disabilities are permanent.

    It helps to hear about others troubles; we all get so wrapped up in our own we at times forget everyone else is dealing with their own.

    COVID did such a number on needed non-COVID care. My own neighbor was forced to wait over two years for hip surgery to walk again, which they considered elective, which is absurd. I’m sorry that you, like all too many others, had to wait so long, and that the wait extended your recovery window.

    I’m rooting for you to stick with your balancing, stretching, and yoga!

    It is amazing how much can be regained through constant efforts. Physical therapy on my opinion is too often ignored by patients in their recovery, especially in less serious injuries than your own. Just keep at it! It gets better!

    Thanks again for joining and contributing.

    Hope your recovery is as full and as short as can be.
