Democrats Ron Wyden and Jamie Raskin have called on the US attorney general to appoint a special counsel to investigate whether Jared Kushner acted as an unregistered foreign agent for Saudi Arabia. The lawmakers cite a Reuters report that revealed Kushner had discussed US-Saudi diplomacy with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. They argue that Kushner's proximity to President Trump and potential political interference warrant the appointment of a Special Counsel. Saudi Arabia has invested $2 billion into a private equity fund founded by Kushner after leaving government. Kushner denies any conflict of interest.
