一名民主党资深议员正在寻求有关贾里德·库什纳金融投资的信息，此前CNN上周发布的一项调查发现，他的私募股权公司是一家以色列公司的最大股东，该公司为参与以色列军事行动的企业提供支持。
众议院监督委员会排名最高的民主党议员罗伯特·加西亚于周一向库什纳的投资公司Affinity Partners发送了一封信，信中称委员会民主党议员正在“调查特朗普总统及其家人利用其权力获取直接利益的前所未有的危险方式”。
“……我要求你提供有关你在中东业务往来的详细信息，以了解你获得的巨额财务收益是否以美国的安全和保障为代价，”这位来自加利福尼亚州的议员写道。
这封信再次表明，如果民主党能在今年秋季的中期选举中夺回众议院多数席位，他们将着手调查唐纳德·特朗普总统家人在海外和美国的商业交易。
库什纳的一名律师驳斥了加西亚的批评，并试图将矛头指向这位国会议员本人在CNN关于库什纳的报道中被审查的投资持仓——Phoenix Financial，这是一家以色列金融服务公司，Affinity Partners是其最大投资者，以及以色列最大的军火制造商埃尔比特系统公司（Elbit Systems）。
“加西亚议员的信堪称反讽的典范：一名国会议员质疑一名普通公民持有与该议员本人持有的相同股票的利益，”该律师在给CNN的一份声明中表示。“贾里德无权决定Phoenix买卖什么。但如果这对加西亚议员来说无关紧要，他应该先调查自己。”
加西亚最新的披露表格显示，他的养老金计划由加州公共雇员退休系统和加州州教师退休系统管理。这两个计划都持有Phoenix Financial或埃尔比特系统公司的股票。
加西亚的一名发言人表示，库什纳的律师试图转移人们对其委托人自身行为的注意力，并补充说，这位国会议员不进行股票交易，和养老金计划中数百万其他公职人员一样，他无法控制基金，也无法选择退出。
“贾里德·库什纳在毫无问责的情况下赚取数百万美元，同时还代表他的岳父在中东奔波，”加西亚的发言人萨拉·格雷罗说道。
“Affinity Partners的投资与你在中东的工作之间明显存在利益冲突，考虑到这些相互竞争的利益，特别是可能存在的腐败交易，这需要国会的监督和问责，”加西亚在信中写道。
CNN的调查引发了人们对库什纳作为中东和平特使的志愿角色与他公司的金融投资之间潜在利益冲突的质疑。库什纳的律师没有提及他的客户作为特朗普政府谈判代表的角色。
作为对库什纳金融资产审查的一部分，CNN利用以色列的金融透明度法律追踪了Phoenix Financial的投资。这家位于特拉维夫的公司在特朗普重返椭圆形办公室前不久，库什纳的Affinity Partners于去年增持了该公司股份，使其持股比例翻倍。CNN的报道特别排除了Phoenix通过退休账户进行的投资，而是聚焦于保险持仓。
这些仅涵盖Phoenix部分持仓的记录显示，该公司已向埃尔比特系统公司投资数亿美元。CNN发现，Phoenix还持有至少另外八家为以色列军方提供设备的公司的股份，这些设备包括无人机、军舰和拆除机械。
CNN确认的所有九家公司的股价去年都出现了上涨，其中许多公司表示，加沙战争推动了其业务需求。
Affinity并未直接持有CNN确认的这九家公司的股份，但当Phoenix获利时，它确实有望获得收益。库什纳在2025年9月将Phoenix称为Affinity的“最佳投资”。
CNN未发现任何迹象表明库什纳作为外交官的行为直接影响了所审查的投资。库什纳的律师告诉CNN，他的客户“从未参与或指导Phoenix的投资决策”。
在CNN的报道发布一天后，库什纳在X平台上罕见地做出回应，称CNN的报道“具有严重误导性”。库什纳在帖子中并未指出报道中的任何不实之处。
“误导性报道不会分散我对特朗普总统交给我的工作的注意力：帮助结束战争、团结各国人民并追求和平。这项工作太重要了，”库什纳在X平台上写道。
加西亚提到了库什纳的社交媒体帖子，他写道：“尽管你否认存在不当行为，但事实仍然是，你被允许担任拥有巨大权力和责任的职位，免于财务披露要求和外部监督。”
除了CNN的报道外，《纽约时报》还发表了一篇文章，详细描述了库什纳的志愿外交角色与他的商业利益之间的额外“交织”，这与乌克兰战争有关。
据《泰晤士报》报道，美国与俄罗斯结束那场战争的谈判已扩大到包括一项数十亿美元的交易，将俄罗斯最大能源公司之一的石油资产出售给一个与史蒂夫·威特科夫和库什纳有关联的投资者集团，两人都是特朗普政府的主要谈判代表。
威特科夫的一名发言人告诉《泰晤士报》，他“在这件事上没有利益冲突或财务利益”，并表示他为美国政府所做的工作是“自掏腰包”进行的。
库什纳的律师没有回应CNN就这篇报道提出的置评请求。
多年来，加西亚和其他民主党议员一直要求白宫和特朗普家族就“明显的权力掮客和交换条件交易”以及外国资金是否被用于“购买接近总统的机会并影响美国政策”的担忧给出答案。
今年3月，鉴于库什纳的政府工作经历，加西亚和俄勒冈州参议员罗恩·怀登专门向白宫索要有关Affinity Partners在中东筹款的信息——库什纳在2021年为他的公司从沙特阿拉伯主权财富基金获得了20亿美元的投资。
库什纳和Affinity Partners都没有回应议员们此前的请求。

众议院监督与政府改革委员会是众议院的主要调查委员会，但委员会少数党议员提出的调查请求是自愿的，可被无视且不会产生法律后果。传票只能由委员会主席或委员会投票授权。如果11月的中期选举导致权力平衡发生变化，民主党将能够启动正式调查。
2023年共和党赢得众议院多数席位后，监督委员会、司法委员会和 Ways and Means 委员会就亨特·拜登在海外的商业交易以及他涉嫌利用父亲的总统职位谋利展开了类似调查。
本故事更新了加西亚信件的更多细节以及有关其持仓的进一步背景信息。

Top Democrat is investigating Jared Kushner’s financial investments after CNN report
2026-10-06T18:39:19.390Z / CNN
A top Democratic lawmaker is seeking information on Jared Kushner’s financial investments following a CNN investigation last week that found his private equity firm is the largest shareholder in an Israeli company backing businesses involved in Israel’s military campaigns.
Rep. Robert Garcia, the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, sent Kushner’s investment firm, Affinity Partners, a letter on Monday saying Democrats on the committee were “investigating the unprecedented and dangerous ways in which President Trump and his family have profited directly from their access to power.
“…I request detailed information about your business dealings in the Middle East to understand whether your significant financial gains have come at the cost of Americans’ safety and security, ” the California representative wrote.
The letter is yet another sign that House Democrats are poised to investigate President Donald Trump’s family members’ business dealings overseas and in the US, should they retake the majority in the midterm elections this fall.
An attorney for Kushner dismissed Garcia’s criticisms and sought to draw attention to the congressman’s own holdings in investments scrutinized in CNN’s report on Kushner – Phoenix Financial, an Israeli financial services firm which counts Affinity Partners as its biggest investor, and Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest arms manufacturer.
“Rep. Garcia’s letter is a masterclass in irony: A member of Congress questioning a private citizen for having an interest in the same stock in which the member also holds an interest,” the attorney said in a statement to CNN. “Jared has no role in deciding what Phoenix buys or sells. But if that doesn’t matter to Rep. Garcia, he should begin by investigating himself.”
Garcia’s most recent disclosure forms indicate his pension plans are managed through the California Public Employees’ Retirement System and California State Teachers Retirement System. Both plans hold stock in Phoenix Financials or Elbit Systems.
A spokesperson for Garcia said Kushner’s attorney was trying to “deflect” from his client’s own conduct, adding the congressman does not trade stocks and, like the millions of other public employees in the pension plan, does not have any control over the fund and cannot opt out.
Kushner “makes millions with no accountability all while he travels the Middle East on behalf of his father in law,” said Sara Guerrero, Garcia’s spokesperson.
“The apparent conflict of interest between Affinity Partners’ investments and your work in the Middle East, and in particular the potential for corrupt dealmaking given those competing interests, demands congressional oversight and accountability,” Garcia’s letter stated.
CNN’s investigation raised questions about potential conflicts of interest between Kushner’s volunteer role as a peace envoy to the Middle East, and his firm’s financial investments. Kushner’s attorney did not address his client’s role as a negotiator on behalf of the Trump administration.
As part of the review into Kushner’s financial holdings, CNN used Israeli financial transparency laws to trace investments made by Phoenix Financial, a Tel Aviv-based firm that Kushner’s Affinity Partners doubled its stake in last year, shortly before Trump returned to the Oval Office. CNN’s reporting specifically excluded Phoenix’s investments through retirement accounts and focused on insurance holdings instead.
Those records, which include only some of Phoenix’s holdings, show Phoenix has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into Elbit Systems. Phoenix also holds stakes in at least eight other companies providing equipment for the Israeli military ranging from drones and warships to demolition machinery, CNN found.
All nine companies identified by CNN saw their stock value climb last year, with many stating the war in Gaza had driven demand for their businesses.
Affinity doesn’t directly hold a stake in the nine companies CNN identified – but it does stand to reap rewards when Phoenix makes a profit. Kushner described Phoenix as Affinity’s “best investment” in September 2025.
CNN found no indication that Kushner’s actions as a diplomat directly affected the investments reviewed. Kushner’s attorney told CNN his client has “never participated in or directed Phoenix’s decisions” on where to invest.
A day after CNN’s reporting, Kushner posted a rare response on X, calling CNN’s story “deeply misleading.” Kushner did not point to any inaccuracies in the piece in his post.
“Misleading stories will not distract me from the work President Trump asked me to do: help end wars, bring people together and pursue peace. That work is too important,” Kushner wrote on X.
Garcia referenced Kushner’s social media post, writing “despite your denial of improper behavior, the fact remains that you have been allowed to hold a position of enormous power and responsibility, exempt from financial disclosure requirements and outside oversight.”
In addition to CNN’s report, the New York Times published a story detailing additional “intermingling” between Kushner’s volunteer diplomatic role and his businesses, as it related to the war in Ukraine.
US talks with Russia to end that war have expanded to include a multibillion-dollar deal selling oil assets from one of Russia’s biggest energy companies to a group of investors with ties to Steve Witkoff and Kushner, the two main negotiators for the Trump administration, according to the Times.
A spokeswoman for Witkoff told the Times he “has no conflict of interest or financial stake in this matter” and said his work for the US administration is undertaken “at his own expense.”
Kushner’s attorney did not respond to CNN’s inquiry about this reporting.
Garcia and other Democrats have for years demanded answers from the White House and Trump’s family about concerns over “apparent influence peddling and quid pro quo deals” and whether foreign money is being used “to buy access to the President and influence American policy.”
In March, Garcia and Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden specifically requested information from the White House about Affinity Partners’ fundraising in the Middle East – Kushner secured a $2 billion investment for his firm from Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund in 2021— in light of Kushner’s government work.
Neither Kushner nor Affinity Partners responded to the congressmen’s earlier request.

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is the main investigative committee in the House but the minority party requests from lawmakers on the committee are voluntary and can be ignored without legal consequences. Subpoenas can only be authorized by the committee chair or by committee vote. If the balance of power shifts as a result of the midterm elections in November, Democrats would be able to open an official investigation.
After Republicans won the House in 2023, the Oversight Committee, the Judiciary Committee and the Ways and Means Committee opened similar investigations into Hunter Biden’s business dealings overseas and alleged he was profiting from his father’s presidency.
This story was updated with additional details from Garcia’s letter and further context on his holdings.
