Jared Kushner was the director of a foundation that supported illegal Israeli settlements

According to Newsweek, Jard Kushner "failed to disclose" that he was the director of a foundation that supported illegal Israeli settlements. The revelation happens two days after it was revealed that Kushner ordered Michael Flynn to ask Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak to delay a vote in the UN condemning Israel.

From the Newsweek article:

Jared Kushner failed to disclose his role as a co-director of the Charles and Seryl Kushner Foundation from 2006 to 2015, a time when the group funded an Israeli settlement considered to be illegal under international law, on financial records he filed with the Office of Government Ethics earlier this year.

The latest development follows reports on Friday indicating the White House senior adviser attempted to sway a United Nations Security Council vote against an anti-settlement resolution passed just before Donald Trump took office, which condemned the structure of West Bank settlements. The failure to disclose his role in the foundation—at a time when he was being tasked with serving as the president’s Middle East peace envoy—follows a pattern of egregious omissions that would bar any other official from continuing to serve in the West Wing, experts and officials told Newsweek.

By the way: Flyn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about calling Kislyak about this. This reeks of conflict of interests. And now Flynn is paying for doing Kushner's dirty work.

One has to wonder if Flynn is going to give Robert Mueller evidence about Kushner. Because if Flynn is in trouble it is because of Kushner.
