Kushner said in a post on the X platform: "Vanity Fair published an excerpt from a book that includes outrageous and completely false claims."
He added: “The claims made by the author of this book are pure madness and never happened. We have officially denied each and every one of these allegations. However, the author has failed to provide any evidence—no matter how basic—to substantiate any of them. No bank statements, records of financial transfers, account numbers, transaction dates, or any other verifiable details have been provided to support these serious accusations.”
Kushner noted that during the period in question he was "one of the most scrutinized people in the world," including by the media, as well as multiple investigations by the US Congress and a special prosecutor.
The son-in-law of the US president confirmed that he cooperated voluntarily with all those conducting those investigations, noting that he gave testimonies that lasted more than 30 hours, and none of these accusations appeared at all during them, because "none of these incidents happened," as he put it.
Kushner described what was published about him as "outrageous slander presented under the guise of investigative journalism."
He concluded by saying: "This is not journalism, but a mixture of fiction, delusions and incitement, written by someone who is either suffering from a deep psychological disorder, or who is acting out of malicious intent."
Vanity Fair magazine published an excerpt from a book by journalist Matthew Cole, which deals with alleged secret agreements between Kushner and leaders in the Middle East.
The magazine claimed, based on what was stated in the book, that Dutch intelligence services were able to access Kushner’s phone and discovered information about secret financial transactions worth hundreds of millions of dollars linked to the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Israel.
