Jared Kushner is denying everything in a book excerpt just published in Vanity Fair.
He’s adamant, too. Kushner says of Matthew Cole’s book: “The allegations made by this author are completely insane and never happened. We denied every one of these claims on the record, yet the author failed to provide a single shred of evidence to substantiate any of them. No bank statements, wire transfer records, account numbers, transaction dates, or other verifiable details were provided to support these extraordinary accusations.”
Cole’s book is called “Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed’s Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East.” It’s published on October 27th by Simon & Schuster’s Atria division, which is not the same as S&S that gives us Bob Woodward’s books, for example.
The book is all about Kushner’s involvement in the Middle East, particularly the UAE, which was discovered when Kushner’s phone was hacked in 2020. It examines, according to Vanity Fair, “how bank accounts linked the president’s son-in-law—and former senior adviser—to Israel, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia.”
Kushner recently rejoined Twitter to rebut things he didn’t like written about him. It’s possible he did it because he knew this book was coming. And now he’s on the warpath.
Vanity Fair is emphasizing book excerpts more than using original reporting, which is far more expensive. The gamble is great because book publishers don’t vet as thoroughly as magazines and newspapers do, which can often lead to trouble.
We’ll see where this goes from here.
.@VanityFair posted an excerpt from a book containing outrageous and categorically false allegations.
The allegations made by this author are completely insane and never happened. We denied every one of these claims on the record, yet the author failed to provide a single shred of evidence to substantiate any of them. No bank statements, wire transfer records, account numbers, transaction dates, or other verifiable details were provided to support these extraordinary accusations.
During the period in question, I was one of the most scrutinized people in the world, subjected to intense media coverage, multiple congressional investigations, and a special counsel investigation. I voluntarily cooperated with these investigations, providing over 30 hours of testimony. None of these allegations ever surfaced, because none of these events ever happened.
These are outrageous fabrications being presented as investigative journalism. This is not journalism. It is a mixture of fantasy, fiction, and advocacy, written by someone who is either deeply disturbed or acting with sinister intent.
