Source: Washington Post

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, the president’s daughter and son-in-law, brought in at least $82 million in outside income while they served as senior White House advisers last year, according to new financial disclosure forms released Monday afternoon.

Among their income: Ivanka Trump earned $3.9 million from the Trump International Hotel in Washington and more than $2 million from severance from the Trump Organization in 2017, while Kushner reported over $5 million in income from Quail Ridge, a Kushner Cos. apartment complex acquired last year in Plainsboro, N.J.

The filings show how the couple is collecting immense sums from other enterprises while serving in the White House, an extraordinary income flow that ethics experts have warned could create potential conflicts of interests.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.

If we give them another decade and a half to sell the US out, they'll finally break even and be zeroaires.

Daddy is doing just as well on billing the government for his, practically, every other weekend trips to Trump properties. No one with any real power seems to GIF....at least not enough other than to send some tweets.

It is disgusting and it's unamerican and I don't think it will change as long as the GOP powerbrokers continue to either ignore the issue or condone it completely.
