While infighting and scandal have plagued most of Donald Trump’s inner circle in his first two months in office, Jared Kushner has risen the West Wing ranks largely unencumbered. Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, a 36-year-old who, until landing his plum political gig, ran his father’s real-estate company in New York and owned a local newspaper, is now in control of a staggering proportion of White House power. His slate includes solving peace in the Middle East, serving as a liaison for foreign leaders, and now, leading a new office tasked with circumventing government inefficiencies to solve the nation’s opioid crisis, reform Veterans Affairs, and create workforce training programs, among other things. While his colleagues jockey for proximity to the president, Kushner is assured of his place within his father-in-law’s fiefdom. While his colleagues burned the midnight oil to pass health-care-reform legislation, Kushner disappeared on a family vacation in Aspen. It appears as though his absence, particularly from a bruising defeat, made his Trump’s heart grow fonder: Kushner spent Saturday evening dining with his father-in-law once he returned, and his brand-new White House office was announced a couple days later.

But this week, Kushner’s sunny ascent seems to have hit a roadblock. For the first time, the First Son-in-Law is facing consequences for his West Wing role, and now they are spilling over to his own family. According to a report from Bloomberg, Kushner’s family real-estate company has ended talks with a Chinese investor to redevelop a Midtown Manhattan office tower after lawmakers and ethics experts raised concerns about the deal.

Earlier this month, Bloomberg reported that Anbang Insurance Group had discussed investing more than $400 million in 666 Fifth Avenue, which would have valued the 41-story building that’s been losing money for the family for three years at $2.85 billion, the highest-ever valuation for a single Manhattan building.

Though Kushner himself divested his stake in the building when he agreed to take his White House job, he sold his stake to his family. Suspicion of the Chinese government’s ties to Anbang, which bought the Waldorf Astoria in 2014, are strong enough that President Barack Obama would not stay at the hotel because of espionage concerns. As Bloomberg noted, the terms of Anbang’s talks with Kushner Companies were inordinately sweet. With loan fees set to increase this year, the proposed deal would have forgiven much of the debt the building has racked up and refinanced it, reducing the existing mortgage owned by the Kushners to about a fifth of what their company currently owes.
