Jared Kushner has been making major headlines in recent days with a flurry of high-profile developments spanning business politics and social controversies. According to ABC News he is set to be named head of the new White House Office of American Innovation representing a significant expansion of his influence in the Trump administration. This new role is designed to bring private sector ideas into government and his appointment is being framed as a demonstration of the presidents deepening reliance on Kushner’s judgment and loyalty. Behind the scenes Trump insiders describe him as increasingly pivotal to White House strategy highlighting his work on Middle East policy and donor relations.

On the business front Kushner is stepping down as CEO of Kushner Companies as he transitions fully into his expanded advisory post. As reported in the New York Times and confirmed by 6sqft he is divesting substantial assets including his stake in the infamous 666 Fifth Avenue deal as part of ongoing efforts to comply with federal ethics rules. Questions remain about the interplay between his family’s real estate empire and his White House portfolio especially since Kushner Companies reportedly continues to attract foreign investment.

International headlines are dominated by the turmoil surrounding Kushner’s luxury hotel and Trump Tower project in Belgrade Serbia. As documented by DW News and IMDb the project involves building on the former NATO-bombed Yugoslav defense ministry site—a move sparking massive protests and outrage from local architects historians and transparency advocates. Critics point to the lack of public tendering corruption concerns and the ties to Gulf state investors while student activists denounce the privatization of national heritage. The government remains largely silent while public demonstrations against the initiative continue to grow with social media clips on Instagram showing thousands rallying in Belgrade.

Meanwhile his business interests in Albania are also drawing attention. According to Antiaero Jared Kushner’s investment firm Affinity Partners recently secured strategic investor status from the Albanian government for a planned 1.4 billion euro luxury resort on Sazan Island. Environmentalists and civic groups are voicing concerns about the potential ecological consequences but officials in Albania are touting the massive economic benefits.

Amidst all this Kushner and Ivanka made a brief splash in the tabloids and social feeds after being seen vacationing in Tel Aviv, as reported by uInterview, following their remote appearances before the January 6 Congressional hearings. Critically across all platforms the dominant story is Kushner’s expanding political and business reach and the mounting controversies—in Serbia and Albania—that could shape his legacy for years to come. At this moment speculation online has intensified that his dual roles are pushing ethical boundaries but aside from continued protests and pointed criticism there is no confirmed investigation underway yet.

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.
