Watchdog group sues to block Jared Kushner from his administration role
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington sued on Wednesday, arguing Jared Kushner's role as a top envoy for the Trump administration is unlawful.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a lawsuit on Wednesday challenging the legality of Jared Kushner's role in the Trump administration. Kushner is President Donald Trump's son-in-law.
NBC News reports the suit alleges that Kushner's current job as a top envoy is unlawful and raises numerous conflict-of-interest concerns.
The Hill quotes the complaint as saying its main aim is to bar Kushner from holding his government position and using government authority in violation of the Appointments Clause. The Hill's excerpt cuts off after "If not," so the suit's alternative request is not clear from the reports.
The reports do not include a response from the White House or Kushner.
