INOLA, Okla. — Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond has filed a motion in court, to find out if President Trump’s son-in law, Jared Kushner, stands to benefit from the proposed aluminum smelter in Inola.

Drummond says his inquiry stems, in part, from allegations in an upcoming book, that says, starting in 2017, leaders of Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia paid Kushner roughly $2 billion dollars and that some payments were made for Kushner to advance Emirate interests within the U.S. government.

Drummond stresses these are allegations, not findings, but he says he wants to know if Kushner or any affiliated entity is benefitting from the smelter.
