Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is still using the foreign connections he got from the White House to make money.
The New York Times reported.
Jared Kushner, Donald J. Trump's son-in-law confirmed on Friday that he was closing major real estate deals in Albania and Serbia, the latest example of the former president's family doing business abroad, even as Mr. Trump wants to return to the White House.
Mr. Kushner's plans in the Balkans appear to have been made possible in part by relationships built during Mr. Trump's tenure. Mr. Kushner, who was a senior White House official, said he worked on the deals with Richard Grenell, who served briefly as acting director of national intelligence under Trump, as well as ambassador to Germany and special envoy to the Balkans.

Trump's foreign exploitation of their time in the White House remains alive and well. It's also a cautionary tale for the American people about what the future might hold if Donald Trump returns to the White House in 2025.
Because as bad as the apparent corruption of the Trump administration was, these same people have learned from their experience in Trump's first term and are preparing to return to power with a better understanding of how to be more corrupt in order to get richer.
Jared Kushner didn't just cash out $2 billion with the Saudis. Kushner is still jet-setting around the world and using the relationships he made while working in the White House to make more money.
The Trump family does not want to rule. The Trumps want to use the most powerful political office in the world as their main source of income.
Trump may have left office, but corruption is alive and well.
