A new book claims Dutch intelligence secretly saw Jared Kushner's iPhone screen during Trump's first term and watched him log in to a Dubai bank account holding hundreds of millions of dollars. According to Vanity Fair, which ran an excerpt from journalist Matthew Cole's Princes and Thieves, the Dutch got in after turning a Russian military intelligence hacker into an informant in 2017. Through him, they reportedly found screenshots of Kushner's phone on a Russian server. They then found their own way in, which let them see his screen whenever he used it.

The book alleges that UAE leader Mohamed bin Zayed and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman put at least $2 billion into accounts tied to Kushner. Cole describes an account at First Abu Dhabi Bank, held by an Emirati charity, that received about $750 million routed through Azerbaijan. Kushner was reportedly a signatory on it and helped manage it as a foreign policy fund. The book also claims about $1 billion went to Israel's Central Bank for Kushner's personal benefit. Cole writes that at the time, Kushner's family business faced a billion-dollar loan on its 666 Fifth Avenue building.

Kushner's team strongly denies all of it. His lawyer said Kushner had no connection to the charity or any UAE account, that "there are no accounts and never were," and that he followed every legal requirement. Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, whom the book says passed messages for Kushner, called the claims about him "100% false." According to Vanity Fair, a former Mueller investigation prosecutor said that if the claims were true, they could raise issues under bribery and foreign agent laws. None of the allegations have been proven, and no charges have been filed.
