Jared Kushner's Hacked Phone Reveals Secret Negotiations, $2B Slush Funds, With Gulf Leaders

Netherlands Defense Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD) obtained access to President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner's hacked iPhone, after recruiting a Russian military intelligence(GRU)'s operative, revealing secret negotiations and financial transfers involving Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed (MBZ).

In late 2017, after capturing the GRU hacker, a dark-web specialist in stolen banking data, traveling to the United Kingdom, MIVD sought and received British permission to intercept him upon arrival, gained access to a Russian server containing screenshots of Kushner’s iPhone, then reverse-engineered the vulnerability to monitor his screen activity starting in early 2018.

A tip in 2020, reportedly revealed that via the hacked Kushner’s phone, Dutch intelligence observed him accessing a Dubai-based bank account holding hundreds of millions of dollars that had originated from a bank in Azerbaijan. He reportedly appeared to have moved substantial sums from that account to various individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary, and a former hit man.

Intelligence reportedly showed Kushner accessing secret bank accounts funded with at least $2 billion by MBS and MBZ, including an account at First Abu Dhabi Bank and another linked to Israel’s Central Bank.

The account sat at the intersection of several overlapping ambitions. MBZ reportedly wanted the Trump administration to abandon the Iran nuclear deal; MBS) sought help securing his position as crown prince; and Kushner hoped to advance an Israeli-Palestinian arrangement acceptable to Israel while his family’s real-estate company faced a looming billion-dollar debt on 666 Fifth Avenue.

The hacking allegedly revealed over $700 million in transfers, with funds routed through an Azerbaijani bank to a UAE charity account under the nominal ownership of the Watani Al Emarat Foundation, run by Dherar Belhoul Al Falasi, which Kushner allegedly used to pay for covert operations involving a warlord, a mercenary, and a hitman. The charity also served as a cover for sensitive military and intelligence expenditures.

Kushner and his legal team have categorically denied the claims as "completely insane" and "outrageous fabrications," stating no such bank accounts exist and noting that none of these events surfaced during previous congressional or special counsel investigations.
