Jared Kushner served as a co-director of the Charles and Seryl Kushner Foundation from 2006 to 2015 and failed to disclose this information on financial forms provided to the Office of Government Ethics.
During Kushner's leadership tenure, the foundation "funded an Israeli settlement considered to be illegal under international law."
The foundation donated at least $38,000 between 2011 and 2013 to a fundraising group building a Jewish seminary in a West Bank settlement known as Beit El. During that period, Kushner’s foundation also donated an additional $20,000 to Jewish and educational institutions in settlements throughout the region, the Associated Press reported. Had Kushner included the role in his financial records, his involvement in such donations—and the following conflicts of interest that could possibly arise in his government position—may have been considered by the Office of Government Ethics.
On Friday, multiple news outlets identified Kushner as the "very senior member of the Presidential Transition Team" who instructed Michael Flynn to call Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak on December 22, 2016 as outlined in the special counsel's Statement of the Offense.
Kushner reportedly wanted every member of the U.N. Security Counsel, including Russia, to delay a vote condemning Israeli settlements.
