Hacked phone excerpt shows Jared Kushner tied to $700M+ transfers

newsOct 22, 2026241,234

A Vanity Fair excerpt from Matthew Cole’s Princes and Thieves reports Dutch intelligence agents recovered screenshots from Jared Kushner’s iPhone showing he logged into a UAE bank account that had received hundreds of millions of dollars from a bank in Azerbaijan. The MIVD hackers exploited a vulnerability in Kushner’s iPhone X in early 2018 that let them capture images of his screen as he used the device. Vanity Fair says the Dutch intelligence team concluded the Azerbaijan-linked account was an intelligence mystery to unravel and that Kushner, UAE ruler Mohamed bin Zayed and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman converged on overlapping political goals at the time. The excerpt also reports Kushner’s family business faced a billion-dollar loan on 666 Fifth Avenue while these contacts and transfers occurred. An opinion piece included in the coverage, by Donald K. Sherman, argues that Kushner should face congressional review of his foreign-policy role in light of such revelations.

The public, through its elected officials, has the right to evaluate whether individuals meet the qualifications and ethical standards for government positions. Jared Kushner and the Trump admin have denied us that right. That's unacceptable and illegal.

I agree with the sentiment but let's not act like ambassadors are elected, or even most of the State Department/Foreign Office. It's always been favouritism at the very least if not outright nepotism.

What kind of America are we when we can't allow the once small time grifting son-in-law of the President to grift other countries? /s

He shouldn't be representing the US government in ANYTHING. I hope Dems have a full inquiry, with referral to the DOJ if necessary.

Oh huh. Jared is a ME asset. Or was, before he didn't protect his paymasters from Iran. [Note, the name of Tom Barrack is not in this piece, but he would be central to this arrangement, which is probably why he was so sure Trump approved of his own graft.] www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

PURE evil, profiteering billions off the US government. And his name is not Hunter Biden.

This administration is so riddled with thieves, spies, fraudsters and others who have conflicts of interest with the United States. We are getting looted and destroyed while these people grow their wealth.

Many called Jared Kushner corrupt Many noted he took bribes from Middle Eastern autocrats, especially Saudi Arabia, skewing US foreign policy And they were right But as this reveals, he's even more corrupt and took even more money from Middle Eastern autocrats that many, even strong critics, knew

‘Most importantly, Kushner appeared to have transferred significant amounts of money from the Dubai account to other individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary and a one-time hit man.’ A blockbuster piece of investigative journalism. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

. While everyday families struggle to afford groceries, Jared Kushner uses an unvetted White House role to protect his private foreign business empire. He refuses to disclose who pays him, and taxpayers are left footing the bill for his conflicts. #TrumpsCrimesOnYourDime

On the same day Russian missiles targeted 30 energy sites and killed two children in a park, Trump insisted Russia “has been fine.” He shelved sanctions and sent Jared Kushner to negotiate with the Kremlin. Selling out allies for oil is sickening. #TrumpsCrimesOnYourDime

Dutch spies hacked Kushner's phone using information taken from Russian spies, who I guess had already hacked his phone themselves.
