Program Offering: Kushner and Chinese Backers

program offering: The Kushner Companies apologized Monday, saying it had not meant to lure investors by using Jared Kushner's name at an investment promotion event held Saturday at a Ritz Carlton in Beijing, according to Brandon Sun. Marketing materials for the event promoted Nicole Kushner Meyer as Jared's sister, and cited the Kushner family's celebrity status. Revelations that the sister of Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and adviser, promoted a program offering a path to U.S. citizenship to Chinese backers in a Kushner family project bring new scrutiny to a foreign investor visa program. The project promoted by Meyer in Beijing is a 79-story apartment building called Kushner 1.
