Trump and Kushner exploitation of presidency ‘unlike anything we have ever seen before’, Obama’s ethics lawyer says

‘The Trump and Kushner family’s “brazen” exploitation of the US Presidency is “unlike anything we have ever seen before,” Barack Obama’s ethics lawyer has said.
Norm Eisen tweeted the remark as he shared a link to a story about Jared Kushner’s sister highlighting her family ties as she wooed Chinese investors.
Mr Eisen is suing the President for allegedly violating the “domestic emoluments clause,” which prohibits the President from receiving additional compensation besides his salary.
Mr Kushner said he stepped down as chief executive of Kushner Companies in January and sold stakes in several properties to allay concerns about conflicts of interest while he serves as senior adviser to his father-in-law, Donald Trump.
But his sister highlighted her ties to Mr Kushner as she made a pitch to raise funds from Chinese investors through the US government’s controversial EB-5 visa programme, which gives permanent US residency to those who finance projects that create a certain amount of jobs.’
