Kush biz hit with federal subpoena

- Andrew Keshner

A BROOKLYN federal grand jury has reportedly subpoenaed the real estate company run by Jared Kushner’s family for informatio­n on housing documents the company filed with New York City.

The Wall Street Journal said the subpoena was sent to Kushner Companies in the middle of last month.

It came after an Associated Press report that revealed the company had stated in more than 80 permit applicatio­ns it had no rent-regulated tenants in its buildings when it actually had hundreds of them.

The company has said the applicatio­ns were outsourced to third parties and the incorrect informatio­n were “mistakes or typographi­cal errors,” which were corrected as soon as possible.

A Kushner Companies rep told the Journal on Thursday that the company “has nothing to hide and is cooperatin­g fully with all legitimate requests for informatio­n, including this subpoena.

A Brooklyn U.S. attorney spokesman said he couldn’t confirm or deny any subpoena or probe.
