Jared Kushner is under new scrutiny over his business connections after it emerged he met top Wall Street executives before their companies extended loans to his family property group, and banking regulators question other lenders about their ties.
Donald Trump’s son-in-law and adviser met Joshua Harris, co-founder of the private equity group Apollo Global Management, and Michael Corbat, chief executive of the US bank Citigroup, while Mr Kushner was in the White House last year, said people familiar with the matter.
Apollo and Citigroup subsequently extended loans to Kushner Companies to help finance real estate in Chicago and Brooklyn, respectively.
