Watchdog Sues White House Over Jared Kushner's Role
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a lawsuit alleging Jared Kushner unlawfully exercised government power without Senate confirmation or ethics disclosures.
The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against the White House regarding the government work of Jared Kushner. The organization alleges that Kushner unlawfully exercised significant government power by serving as a primary foreign policy negotiator for the administration without receiving Senate confirmation or adhering to federal ethics rules.
The complaint specifically highlights Kushner's foreign policy activities conducted alongside Special Envoy for Peace Missions Steven Witkoff. The lawsuit argues that these actions violate the US Constitution by bypassing the legal requirements for high-level government appointments.
As a result of these alleged violations, the lawsuit seeks to compel Kushner to file financial disclosures covering the entire period of his government service.
