Did Tiffany Trump's Husband's Family Swindle Jared Kushner?
A recent report in The New York Times alleges that Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump's husband and Tiffany Trump's brother-in-law, was the victim of a multi-million dollar scheme involving a luxury yacht. The alleged perpetrators? Tiffany Trump's in-laws, the Boulos family.
The report suggests that Michael Boulos, who married Tiffany Trump in a lavish 2022 ceremony at Mar-a-Lago, played a key role in connecting Kushner with a yacht broker, his cousin Jimmy Frangi. The initial pitch involved Kushner purchasing, renovating, and then selling or leasing a yacht for profit. However, the deal reportedly took a turn when Boulos presented Kushner with sales presentations for an unfinished yacht called the 'Solstice' being built in Greece.
According to the Times, Frangi's firm quoted Kushner a price of €12.5 million (approximately $15 million), including a $1 million brokerage commission. However, text messages reportedly reveal that the firm spent significantly less acquiring the yacht, allowing them to pocket $3.5 million instead of the stated $1 million.
This revelation raises questions about the nature of Michael Boulos's involvement and whether he leveraged his connection to the Trump family for personal financial gain. The report also suggests that Massad Boulos, Michael's father, may have overstated his business dealings, despite being lauded by Donald Trump and appointed as an advisor to the Middle East and Africa.
The incident has sparked debate about potential conflicts of interest and the ethics of mixing family and business within the Trump family circle. The question remains whether Kushner will pursue legal action against the Boulos family. This story is still developing, and further details are expected to emerge in the coming days.
