Special counsel Robert Mueller’s interest in Jared Kushner’s myriad foreign business dealings has come into greater focus in recent days. Fresh reports have aired new details on how, exactly, his work for his family’s struggling real estate firm during the 2016 presidential campaign and transition have left him vulnerable to foreign interests seeking leverage with the U.S. government.

Mueller is drilling down on Kushner’s business interactions with individuals not only from Russia, but from the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Turkey, and China, according to NBC News.

One major concern: Kushner’s efforts to secure financing for his family’s flashy Manhattan commercial investment property, 666 Fifth Avenue. Though Kushner divested his interest in the building, which remains mired in $1.2 billion debt, when he joined the White House as a senior advisor in January 2016, he “retained the vast majority of his interest in Kushner Companies.”

And he met with a number of foreign officials during the transition, as his family’s firm frantically searched for a financial lifeline. Mueller’s team is reportedly interested in whether those contacts later influenced the Trump administration’s policy decisions.
