About

The Kushner family, particularly through entities associated with Jared Kushner, is currently newsworthy due to a proposed $20 billion operation to manage World Cup events, backed by FIFA. This plan has reportedly met with significant opposition and fury from Europe's UEFA, indicating a major point of contention within international football governance. Furthermore, there are warnings from US Democrats, specifically Representative Jamie Raskin, that FIFA could face a congressional inquiry over its financial and political ties to Donald Trump and his family if Democrats regain control of the House. This potential investigation stems from accusations of a "smash-and-grab scam." The involvement of the Kushner family in such a large-scale FIFA venture, coupled with the looming threat of political scrutiny, highlights their current relevance in both business dealings and potential political fallout.
