“In late spring 2020, a source I knew to be reliable called me with a story,” writes Matthew Cole. “The Dutch government had hacked into Jared Kushner’s phone and monitored him as he accessed a Dubai-based bank account. What was odd, the source said, was that the money in the account—hundreds of millions of dollars—had come from a bank in Azerbaijan. Most importantly, Kushner appeared to have transferred significant amounts of money from the Dubai account to other individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary and a one-time hit man. The story sounded preposterous, I told my source. And yet.
Six months later, I found myself speaking with someone else about the UAE government and their use of mercenaries in conflicts around the Middle East and Africa when I asked, on a whim, whether they knew anything about Kushner and bank transfers from a UAE account. My acquaintance grew quiet. Then they replied, ‘Yes.’”
An exclusive excerpt from Matthew Cole's ‘Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed’s Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East’ examines how bank accounts linked the president's son-in-law—and former senior adviser—to Israel, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Kushner’s lawyer denied any such accounts existed.

If I see this on the street, they are taking me away in handcuffs or an ambulance. This is fucking kidnapping in plain sight. This is not legal or constitutional.
This regime is trying to normalize the Brownshirts.
It’s time for the rest of us to stop being such fucking cowards.
