Md. AG sues Kushner Co....

Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh has sued an apartment management company owned by senior White House adviser and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner, alleging it routinely used “unfair or deceptive” rental practices while running rodent-infested apartments in Baltimore and the surrounding region. 

Attorneys in the Consumer Protection Division of Frosh’s office argued in a statement of charges filed Wednesday that Westminster Management and 25 other companies whose properties it managed have “victimized consumers, many of whom are financially vulnerable, at all stages of offering and leasing” their rental units in Maryland. The companies committed “hundreds of thousands of violations” of consumer protection laws along the way, the statement said. 

Representatives for the Kushner-linked companies did not immediately have comment Wednesday. They have previously defended the companies’ practices as falling within industry standards and have dismissed critiques from Frosh as politically motivated.

“We refuse to be extorted by an ambitious Attorney General who clearly cares more about scoring political points than fighting real crime and improving the lives of the people of Maryland,” Kushner Cos. CEO Laurent Morali said last month, after the company announced it had rejected a settlement offer from Frosh’s office after two years of negotiating.

So cheating tenants and being a slum lord isn't a 'real crime' I guess.

I've been wondering where Kushner was for the last few weeks. I figured he'd taken the wife and kids and headed to country with no extradition treaty, since his boss had his little melt down.
