Summary
This document is an excerpt from Michael Wolff's book 'Siege' (pages 16-17), stamped as evidence by the House Oversight Committee. It details the internal conflict within the Trump White House regarding Jared Kushner's business dealings, specifically a $184 million loan from Apollo Global Management (led by Leon Black) to Kushner Companies. The text describes Trump's anger that Apollo funded his son-in-law but not the Trump Organization, Ivanka Trump's distress over their legal exposure, and the role of lawyer Abbe Lowell in managing the family's defense against the Special Counsel investigation.
