If President Trump wants to start blaming people for the problems in Baltimore, he might want to take a good hard look at his "slumlord" son-in-law Jared Kushner, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday.

Over the weekend, Trump tweeted insults at both Baltimore and Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), calling the city "dangerous" and a "disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess," and he continued slinging mud throughout the week. "The president — this comes as no surprise — really doesn't know what he's talking about," Pelosi told reporters. "But maybe you could ask his son-in-law, who is a slumlord there, if he wants to talk about rodent infestations."

Kushner's family real estate company owns apartments and townhomes in the Baltimore area, and in 2017, ProPublica and The New York Times spoke to dozens of current and former residents who reported mold, mice, leaks, and other issues in their homes. Several said they were later sued by JK2 Westminster, a subsidiary of Kushner Companies, for thousands of dollars, falsely accused of not giving proper notice that they were moving out and charged for the damage done by the faulty pipes.

That same year, the Baltimore County government announced that over 10 months, Kushner Companies violated more than 200 housing codes, and only fixed the problems when told they would be fined. Catherine Garcia
