U.S. special envoy Jared Kushner denied allegations in an upcoming book by journalist Matthew Cole that he received more than $2 billion in slush funds from Middle East leaders, CBS News reported on Friday1.
The network presented the denial in a video segment tied to Cole's forthcoming account1. CBS News identified Kushner as a U.S. special envoy in that report1.
Cole's book, as described by CBS News, alleges that Kushner received more than $2 billion in slush funds from Middle East leaders1. The assignment reviewed is the CBS News video page; it did not independently document the alleged funds1.
Whether Cole's claims will be backed by public records, and whether other governments or banks will comment, is not established in the CBS News item reviewed1.
