US Warned Jared Kushner About Wendi Deng Murdoch

US counterintelligence officials in early 2017 warned Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, that Wendi Deng Murdoch, a prominent Chinese-American businesswoman, could be using her close friendship with Kushner and his wife, Ivanka Trump, to further the interests of the Chinese government. US officials have also had concerns about a counterintelligence assessment that Ms. Murdoch was lobbying for a high-profile construction project funded by the Chinese government in Washington (DC). Murdoch in 1999 married Rupert Murdoch, who is the executive chairman of News Corp, which publishes The Wall Street Journal. Rupert Murdoch filed for divorce in 2013. Wendi Deng Murdoch still uses her married name.
