Oh, hi
U.S. attorney subpoenaed Kushner Companies over investment-for-visa program
A U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn has subpoenaed the New York property development business owned by Jared Kushner's family, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The firm, Kushner Companies, was subpoenaed in May over an investment-for-immigration program, according to the report, at at least one development in Jersey City, New Jersey. The development, it said, was partially financed by a federal visa program known as EB-5.
The program allows entrepreneurs, their spouses and children under 21 to apply for a green card. Congress created the program in 1990 to "stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors." Lawmakers then created the Immigrant Investor Program in 1992, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. It says that it sets aside EB-5 visas for people who invest in commercial enterprises associated with regional centers approved by the government agency.
As part of the subpoena, New York prosecutors requested documents and emails, the report said, but it isn't clear what potential violations are being investigated.

If this is a witch hunt, I hope the prosecutor gets nailed for prosecutorial misconduct.
