Top Dems demand special counsel to investigate Jared Kushner less than 2 weeks from Election Day

Less than two weeks before the election, a top Democrat is urging the attorney general to appoint a special counsel to investigate Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law. The accusation is that Kushner may have violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act through his finance work after leaving the White House. Kushner and his allies deny any wrongdoing, calling the accusations politically motivated. Democrats claim Kushner acted as an unregistered foreign agent for Saudi Arabia, undermining U.S. interests. The request for a special counsel is seen as a desperate attempt by Democrats to create an issue before the election. If Democrats win the House, investigations into Kushner are likely to continue.
