NEW YORK — A New York City agency that oversees construction said Friday that Jared Kushner’s father is wrong in telling reporters that a probe of false construction permits filed by his company is over.
Department of Buildings spokesman Andrew Rudansky said the agency’s investigation is ongoing. That contradicts a statement by Charlie Kushner in a story posted Friday in the real estate publication The Real Deal that the agency told him the probe is “done, it’s over.”
Later in the story, the head of Kushner Cos. is quoted about the investigation differently, saying officials at the agency and those involved in a separate probe by federal prosecutors into the company’s use of a federal program to raise money overseas “have indicated that they’re shutting it down.”
Jared Kushner, former CEO of Kushner Cos., sold his stake last year when he became an adviser to his father-in-law, President Trump.
