Was Kushner Seeking a Russian Bailout for Manhattan Building? Congress Will Ask

 

A very expensive piece of New York City real estate with an ominous address could be Exhibit A when and if President Donald Trump's son-in-law and trusted adviser, Jared Kushner, appears before the Congressional committees probing Russian meddling in the presidential election. 

One of the questions Kushner is expected to be asked is whether he tried to set up a secret back channel way of communicating with the Russians so he could find somebody in Moscow to take the 41-story tower at 666 Fifth Ave. off his family's hands , two Congressional sources with direct knowledge of the investigation confirmed to NBC News. 

Trump has repeatedly touted Kushner, who volunteered to testify before Congress, as a "very successful real estate person." 

But Kushner and his family real estate firm took a bath when they bought the building back in January 2007 for what was then a record price for a Manhattan building — $1.8 billion.

Kushner Companies has been bleeding money ever since, according to numerous published reports.

So far no date has been set for Kushner to appear before the Senate and House Intelligence committees.

Part of the questioning will likely be about a bombshell May 26 report in the Washington Post that Kushner in December allegedly proposed to the Russians setting up a secret communications channel  using secure diplomatic facilities. 

The White House has not explained why Kushner met in December with Sergey Gorkov — a close associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin  and head of the Vnesheconombank, a bank that was hit with U.S. sanctions after Russia annexed Crimea. 

But Kushner's contacts with the Russians came as his family's real estate firm was already in talks with Anbang Insurance Group, a Chinese firm with murky ties to the country's government, to invest $4 billion into 666 Fifth Ave. 

When Bloomberg News reported that a possible deal between Kushner and Anbang was in the works, the Chinese firm quickly put the kibosh on the story. 

"The information about Anbang investment in 666 Fifth Avenue is not correct, there is no investment from Anbang for this deal," the company said in a statement. 

NBC News reached out to a Kushner Companies spokesperson and asked point blank whether the purpose of the alleged back channel to Moscow was to find investors for 666 Fifth Ave.  A spokesman there declined to comment.

I was just thinking this. Can't believe they actually numbered the building like that. I'm pretty sure my neighbourhood skips over the 666th house and most apartments/hotels don't have a 13th floor. I would never buy a 666th house or 13th story building. 

OT: I've said this before and I'll say it again, never trust a straight guy with plucked eyebrows.
