Jared Kushner's hacked phone and the paths of billions of petrodollars of Gulf sheikhs threaten to blow up the circle of US President Donald Trump
A dramatic development in the circle of Donald Trump, as revelations come to light regarding the hacking of Jared Kushner's iPhone by Dutch intelligence services and the Russian GRU, with a controversial article implicating the US President's son-in-law in a dark network of secret accounts in the United Arab Emirates, featuring multi-million dollar flows from Azerbaijan, funds from Arab leaders, and suspicious payments to mercenaries. For his part, Jared Kushner goes on the counteroffensive, speaking of infuriating fabrications and fiction without a shred of evidence, at a time when he sits at the epicenter of critical negotiations for ending the war in Ukraine. The son-in-law of American President Donald Trump and his former senior advisor, Jared Kushner, went on the counteroffensive answering a Vanity Fair article bearing the revealing title "The Art of the Deal: Jared Kushner's hacked phone revealed his secret negotiations, including transfers over 700 million dollars." In a post on the X platform, he categorically rejected all allegations formulated against him.
The Dutch hack and the path of dirty money to mercenaries
In the controversial material, an excerpt is presented from the book "Princes and Thieves: The Secret Conspiracy of Jared Kushner and Mohammed bin Zayed to Redistribute the Middle East." According to the revelations, the government of the Netherlands breached the iPhone of the former advisor and monitored a bank account he maintained in Dubai. The same source contends that millions of dollars were funneled into said account from a bank in Azerbaijan, while subsequently Jared Kushner allegedly transferred huge sums to third parties, among whom are included a field commander, a mercenary, and a former contract hitman.
Russian GRU hackers and the secret 750 million dollar fund
In 2018, Dutch intelligence services (MIVD) managed to break the security of Jared Kushner's iPhone X, discovering simultaneously that the device had already been breached earlier by agents of the Russian GRU. Gaining access, the Dutch were able to record every move of Donald Trump's son-in-law, monitoring his connection to account "Alpha" at First Abu Dhabi Bank in the United Arab Emirates, where capital of approximately 750 million dollars from Azerbaijan was gathered. This money was allegedly used as a reserve fund to finance dark, secret operations.
The alliance of Arabia's powerful and the purchase of influence by funneling... 2 billion dollars
The book further contends that Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, funneled a combined total of at least 2 billion dollars aiming at exercising unofficial diplomacy and purchasing influence in the Middle East.
Kushner's angry response over witch hunt and figments of imagination
"The claims put forward by this specific author are completely absurd. We have officially denied every single one of them. In support of these outrageous allegations, no bank statement, no proof of wire transfer, no account number, no transaction date, or any other verifiable detail has been presented," noted Jared Kushner.
Yearslong siege by authorities and dozens of hours of testimony
He himself recalled that during Donald Trump's first presidential term, in his capacity as his son-in-law, he constituted one of the most scrutinized persons on the planet, being in the crosshairs of numerous investigations by the US Congress and prosecutorial authorities, as well as under constant media surveillance.
The narrative of fabricated mud and absence of proof
"I cooperated voluntarily with these investigations, giving more than 30 hours of testimony. None of these allegations ever came to the surface because quite simply none of these events ever happened," underlined Jared Kushner, characterizing the Vanity Fair article as an "infuriating fabrication" constituting a blend of fantasy, fiction, and propaganda, which stands leagues away from any journalistic investigation.
The channel of communication with the Kremlin that set off fires in Congress
In May 2017, The Washington Post, citing an intelligence report, had revealed that Jared Kushner and Russia's ambassador to Washington, Sergey Kislyak, had discussed the prospect of establishing a "secret and secure communication channel" between Donald Trump's transition team and the Kremlin. Following this development, members of Congress had demanded the removal of Donald Trump's son-in-law's access to classified documents.
The background of negotiations with Putin to end the war
Right now, Jared Kushner is participating in the US negotiating team for the conflict in Ukraine, alongside Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. Immediately after completing the meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on October 21, he himself wrote that "encouraging progress" was achieved in the talks on Ukraine and that a genuine opportunity now exists for achieving a sustainable peace.
From dark Arab capital to the Trump family's grandiose business in Albania
The billions of dollars from the Persian Gulf and the opaque accounts of the United Arab Emirates do not constitute merely an... old espionage case, but rather the fuel powering to this day the Trump family's business empire. The very same money paths, which sat in the crosshairs of international intelligence services, are now unfolding next to the Greek borders, as the Arab capital of Jared Kushner's investment fund Affinity Partners is converted into grandiose real estate projects on the coast of Albania. Exactly the same Arab capital, through his investment fund Affinity Partners, is now being funneled into Albania for the implementation of a mammoth tourism project exceeding 1.4 billion euros. (Ed. note: From verified financial and journalistic data from international investigations (such as The New York Times, Bloomberg, and reports of the US Congressional Foreign Affairs Committee), investment fund Affinity Partners was founded by Jared Kushner in 2021 and manages funds exceeding 5 to 6 billion dollars. The overwhelming majority of these funds (over 90%) originates directly from state funds of the Persian Gulf. Namely: 2 billion dollars from the Sovereign Wealth Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia (under Prince Mohammed bin Salman) and hundreds of millions of dollars from state investment funds of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar. Jared Kushner and his firm Affinity Partners are the primary vehicle/investor for the tourism project on Sazan Island and the Zvërnec region of Albania. The investment budget has been approved by the Albanian government as a "strategic investment" and is estimated at 1.4 to 1.6 billion euros. Insofar as Affinity Partners does not possess its own productive capital but manages the funds of Arab funds, the financing of the Albanian project takes place directly from the pool of these Arab capitals.)
Sazan Island and the strategic "buyout" of the Edi Rama government and the shadow diplomacy of Richard Grenell
At the center of this deal sits the strategically vital Sazan Island, a former secret military base of Albania in the Ionian Sea, as well as the protected area of Zvërnec. The government of Edi Rama summarily altered environmental legislation and declassified the military zone, handing over the "prime slice" to the Trump-Kushner family for the construction of ultra-luxury resorts and a marina. The critical connecting link in this deal is Richard Grenell, former special envoy of Donald Trump to the Balkans. As in the case of secret communication channels with Moscow and Azerbaijan, Kushner and his associates utilized their high political connections from their White House tenure to convert geopolitical influence into private multi-billion dollar businesses.
Popular uprising in Albania and the "Flamingo Revolution"
This scandal has now taken on explosive proportions in Albania. Revelations regarding how the Trump family exploits opaque Arab capital and local government facilities ignited a wave of angry demonstrations. The so-called "Flamingo Revolution" turns against both the corruption of the Rama government and Jared Kushner, whom protesters accuse of converting the country into his private fiefdom with dirty money.
