President Donald Trumps son-in-law, Jared Kushner, allegedly tried to put a billionaire executive in line for a job as White House budget director a year before the executive's company loaned Kushners family-owned real estate business tens of millions of dollars.
Kushner, a senior White House adviser, supported Apollo Global Management co-founder Joshua Harris as he began a financial disclosure process shortly after the 2016 election to be considered for the position of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) director, two sources familiar with the situation told The Guardian in a report published Monday. Harris, a senior private equity executive, later withdrew his candidacy because it was too difficult to disclose his holdings within the short time frame allotted, the sources reportedly said.
In 2017, Harriss investment firm loaned Kushner Cos. $184 million, The New York Times reported in February.

It seems impossible to ever pay it all back.

Excuse me but what possible reason would a billionaire financier have for taking a government job as budget director? Except for how he can rig things for people like him, that is?
Why would he want to do an essentially thankless job, in the public spotlight?
So, he wanted a gig, sort of, and gave a guy with questionable credit $184 million to get a gig he couldn't possibly really want?
This stinks to high heaven.
