Jared Kushner pushes back on report involving hacked phone, spies, billion-dollar transfer

Key Points:

• Journalist Matthew Cole's upcoming book alleges Jared Kushner had access to over $2 billion in hidden funds from Middle Eastern leaders aimed at influencing U.S. foreign policy during his time as a senior White House adviser.
• The book claims that Dutch intelligence discovered Russian spies had hacked Kushner's iPhone in 2017, allowing them to monitor his screen and access accounts linked to billions of dollars from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and other sources.
• Kushner and his legal team have categorically denied all allegations, calling them "completely insane," "false and defamatory," and threatening legal action due to the lack of verifiable evidence presented.
• The White House dismissed the report as fabricated fiction, with communications director Steven Cheung criticizing the book for relying on unnamed sources without any supporting documentation.
• The allegations include claims that funds were funneled through disguised accounts for secret diplomatic objectives, including efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman purportedly contributing about $1 billion for Kushner's personal benefit.
