A filing at the Office of Government Ethics released Monday shows that Kushner received permission to defer capital gains taxes on the sale of his stake in Cadre, a digital platform for smaller investors in commercial properties. Kushner's holding in the private Cadre was worth between $25 million and $50 million, according to a financial disclosure report he filed with federal ethics officials last year.


A person familiar with the sale said Cadre asked Kushner last summer to consider selling because of worries that some potential new investors in the firm might raise conflict-of-interest issues. The person was not authorized to speak of Kushner's personal finances and spoke only on a condition of anonymity.

They think it's a sign the Trumps are smart 'outsiders' who know how to work the system

And if anybody mentions Hunter Biden to you, that's what you should say: "That's just a distraction from the corruption of Trump's own administration"

Dion't argue about Hunter Biden. Don't ever even say the words "Hunter Biden"

Just have a nice long list of Trump's own corruption ready to hurl back
