Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is still using overseas connections he obtained from the White House to make money.
The New York Times reported:
Jared Kushner, Donald J. Trump’s son-in-law, confirmed Friday that he is approaching major real estate deals in Albania and Serbia, the latest example of the former president’s family doing business abroad just as Mr. Trump seeks to return to the White House.
Kushner’s plans in the Balkans appear to have been realized in part through relationships built while Trump was in office. Kushner, who was a senior White House official, said he worked on the deals with Richard Grenell, who briefly served as acting director of national intelligence under Trump and also as ambassador to Germany and special envoy to the Balkans.

Trump’s overseas exploitation of their time in the White House remains alive and well. It is also a warning to the American people about what the future may hold if Donald Trump returns to the White House in 2025.
As bad as the Trump administration’s obvious corruption was, these same people have learned from their experiences in Trump’s first term and will return to power with a better understanding of how to be even more corrupt to enrich themselves.
Jared Kushner didn’t just make $2 billion from the Saudis. Kushner is still traveling the world and using the relationships he acquired while working in the White House to earn even more money.
The Trump family doesn’t want to govern. The Trumps want to use the most powerful political office in the world as their main source of income.
Trump may have left office, but corruption is alive and well.
