US attorneys subpoena emails from Kushner family development firm over pay-for-visa pitch: report

Federal prosecutors in New York have issued subpoenas for Kushner Cos., the property business development company owned by the family of Jared Kushner, the Wall Street Journal reports.

According to the Journal, the subpoenas concern the company’s “investment-for-immigration program;” investigators are probing whether at least one New Jersey development was financed in part by individuals who believed they could secure green cards by investing in the building.

The company, headed by Kushner’s sister Nicole Meyer, drew scrutiny in May after a marketing pitch targeting Chinese investors promised individuals who put $500,000 towards the development could receive their green cards under the EB-5 visa program.

The subpoena includes a request for emails from the company.
