Jared Kushner BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Jared Kushner just made headlines by announcing he will step down as CEO of Kushner Companies to become a full-time presidential advisor for Donald Trump, according to a New York Times report summarized by 6sqft. This is a major shift for Kushner, considering the real estate portfolio he is relinquishing control over includes thousands of New York and New Jersey apartment buildings as well as high-profile commercial assets like 666 Fifth Avenue, which famously put the Kushner clan front and center in Manhattan some years back. Kushner’s transition comes with promises to comply with federal ethics laws and divest significant assets, a move designed to smooth his leap from business mogul into the highest echelons of Washington politics, as government ethics attorneys highlighted. The backdrop to all this is growing scrutiny on Kushner Companies, which has reportedly been entangled in $7 billion worth of transactions, often backed by opaque foreign funding—potentially a plot point for future political drama if any conflicts emerge.
This week, social media buzzed over Kushner’s surprise public appearance at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Instagram posts from Jewish Breaking News showed him last night walking at one of Judaism’s holiest sites, stirring speculation about the ongoing Trump administration’s Middle East ambitions and Kushner’s personal connections to Israeli politics. Just days earlier, he was seen vacationing in Israel with Ivanka Trump, per uInterview and IMDb News, providing no shortage of candid snapshots and commentary after both had appeared remotely in the first public hearing of the House January 6 committee. The juxtaposition of congressional drama and vacation photos offered plenty of grist for Washington commentators.
In business news, Kushner’s entrepreneurial activities continued to attract attention, with DW News reporting his attempt to build a luxury resort in an Albanian nature reserve. This ambitious project has prompted a wave of EU environmental criticism and fueled Albanian gossip, though the official details remain thin and no formal approval has been announced, so for now it’s more speculation than deal. Meanwhile, Fortune noted earlier this week that Kushner Companies was slapped with $210,000 in fines, a drop in the bucket for the sprawling Kushner empire but still a headline-grabber in finance circles.
Notably, there has been no verified personal scandal or dramatic new tell-all hitting the wires, but the sustained intersection of Kushner’s business interests, evolving role in Trump’s inner circle, and visible profile abroad will likely define his legacy in this chapter—especially as the Trump team prepares for what’s shaping up to be a historic return to Washington.

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.
