Grassley calls for investigation into Chinese promotion of Kushner company deal
-
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, is calling for an investigation into “potentially fraudulent statements and misrepresentations” made by a Chinese company promoting investments in property partly managed by White House adviser Jared Kushner's family's company.
Reuters noted that Grassley cited one of its reports in a May 25 letter to the Department of Homeland Security and the Securities and Exchange Commission calling for the probe.
The Republican senator is requesting a review of claims made by Chinese firm Qiaowai in the marketing of the One Journal Square project in Jersey City, N.J. to potential Chinese investors.
“Given all of these concerns, a closer look at Qiaowai Group and the U.S. Immigration Fund are clearly warranted, as reports suggest both companies have long employed questionable practices,” Grassley wrote.
Qiaowai and Kushner Companies are looking for investors to help finance a pair of luxury apartment buildings as part of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program. That program offers visas in exchange for a $500,000 investment in a U.S. business.

Yes, it was getting a bit less challenging to skewer the Trumps/Kushners every day over "just" Russia. (But of course, we will continue as it unfolds!)
Thanks, Drwas, for shining a little light on their slimy visa scheme in China – and still, so many of their other, sketchy foreign activities yet to cover!

This is getting very interesting. I wonder how far the Republicans will go once #45 hits that magical 28% approval rating. Suddenly they're going to go from, "What collusion?" to "How much collusion?" :cheers:

You know it's bad when the GOP is leading the investigations. Trumps days are numbered. I hope Trumptards are happy for embarrassing America like this.
