Advisors to the President Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have filed their final federal government financial disclosure forms, revealing they made approximately $24 million to $120 million, combined, in their last year working in the White House. Those figures represent a significant drop in income from the year prior.
“Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner disclosed receiving between $23,791,645 and $120,676,949 in combined outside income in their final financial disclosure reports,” Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) reports.
“The disclosures cover the entirety of 2020 through January 20, 2021. Like former President Donald Trump, their income also appears to have been affected by the pandemic. In their financial disclosures covering 2019, they reported between $36,151,214 and $157,020,085 in income.”
In December it was reported that Kushner “helped set up a shell company that secretly paid President Donald Trump’s family members and spent nearly half of his 2020 campaign’s funds.”
The First Daughter and the son-in-law to the President were official White House advisors but took no salary, which some legal experts say helped them evade anti-nepotism laws. Others disagree, but on January 21, 2017 Trump’s Dept. of Justice announced the law does not apply to “appointments to the White House Office.”
