In the video, Warren said, "While Trump puts American service members’ lives at risk in a war against Iran, his peace envoy Jared Kushner is busy raising money for his own private equity firm."

She added, "He's looking for five billion dollars from foreign governments."

She also linked the issue to domestic economic concerns, adding, "Americans here at home are paying nearly 30% more for gas. And Donald Trump’s inner circle is about making themselves more money."

Warren described the situation as "one of the most disgusting grifts yet," calling it further evidence of what she characterized as corruption within Trump's political orbit.
