"Jared Kushner's new fund raises old questions

Kushner has spent the vast majority of his time since last summer on geopolitics, as a volunteer at the behest of President Trump. First on Israel/Gaza. Then on Russia/Ukraine.

And most recently a trio of meetings with Iran, prior to the war.
Affinity, meanwhile, has been operating as if it's business as usual.

Its 30-person team now has committed around 80% of Fund 1, including in the pending $55 billion buyout of video game giant Electronic Arts that also includes Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and Silver Lake.
