Jared Kushner BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Jared Kushner is suddenly everywhere again, making headlines on both the business and political fronts and stirring plenty of chatter in recent days. The most consequential development comes straight from ABC News Good Morning America: Kushner will be named head of the brand-new White House Office of American Innovation, a move widely seen as cementing his place at the heart of President Trump’s inner circle. This office is meant to inject business-world ideas into government, with Kushner as the public face—a visible sign that his power is expanding at a moment when the administration is drawing on a tight group of loyalists. Trump himself has stated pointedly that if Kushner cannot deliver peace in the Middle East, “nobody can”—underscoring just how pivotal he’s become in sensitive domestic and foreign policy arenas.

On the business side, there is the seismic news, first reported by the New York Times and confirmed by 6sqft, that Kushner will step down as CEO of Kushner Companies, making a full transition from real estate tycoon to full-time presidential advisor. Jamie Gorelick, his attorney, says the move is designed to comply with federal ethics laws, including shedding substantial assets with complicated foreign ties, like the notorious 666 Fifth Avenue. This is a major biographical inflection point. Kushner Companies’ portfolio—valued in the billions—remains active, but speculation swirls over how deeply he will stay involved behind the scenes.

Kushner’s recent investment ambitions are attracting global attention. AOL reports that he and Ivanka Trump are pouring $1.4 billion into converting Albania’s secretive Sazan Island, once a Soviet weapons dump, into a hyper-luxury resort—a bold project already raising eyebrows for its scale and long-term regional impact. Meanwhile, IMDb has reported that Kushner’s Affinity Partners just landed a deal to build a luxury hotel in Belgrade atop a former military base, sparking outrage and a petition from Serbian citizens who fear the loss of historical heritage and potential political implications.

Social media is afire after a Facebook clip of Kushner’s remarks about Pakistan and Israel resurfaced, with SochFactCheck clarifying these were old statements and not related to recent geopolitical events. Business columns, such as in Morningstar, are linking Kushner’s growing influence to broader concerns about America’s “pay-to-play” oligarchy, keeping his image as a power broker very much alive.

Finally, TMZ-style, Kushner and Ivanka were spotted vacationing in Israel according to IMDb, with the timing fanning speculation about their international connections post-White House. In summary: Kushner is moving out of the shadows and into an even more central, controversial role in both government and global business, with every new development watched closely for what it may portend for the Trump era and beyond.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
