CREW files lawsuit to block Jared Kushner from serving as volunteer diplomatic envoy
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a lawsuit on October 15, 2026, seeking to bar Jared Kushner from continuing to serve in a diplomatic role in the Trump administration without Senate confirmation or financial disclosures. CREW alleges Kushner's role violates the Constitution's Appointments Clause and the Ethics in Government Act, citing potential conflicts of interest stemming from his position as CEO of Affinity Partners. Kushner's legal team and the White House have both called the lawsuit without merit.
