一本指控庫什納（Jared Kushner）在川普（Donald Trump）首任總統任期內涉及巨額境外資金往來的新書，本周在美國出版後迅速引發政壇與媒體強烈反彈。
資深調查記者柯爾（Matthew Cole）的著作《王子與竊賊：賈里德·庫什納與穆罕默德·本·扎耶德重塑中東的秘密陰謀》（Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed’s Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East），書中提出多項激烈指控，指庫什納作為川普女婿及中東外交核心顧問，曾接觸由海灣國家資助的巨額「秘密基金」帳戶。

綜合《衛報》（The Guardian）與《紐約時報》（The New York Times）報導，《浮華世界》（Vanity Fair）上周四（22日）刊出書摘後，庫什納隨即強烈反駁，稱相關說法「完全瘋狂」。他在個人網站及社群表示：「我們已逐一正式否認這些指控，但作者未能提出任何一絲證據來佐證其中任何一項」。庫什納要求《浮華世界》撤回書摘，並威脅對出版商採取法律行動。他進一步強調：「在相關時期，我是世界上受到最嚴格審查的人之一，面臨密集媒體報導、多次國會調查及特別檢察官調查。我自願配合，提供超過30小時證詞。這些指控從未出現，因為這些事情從未發生」。
“In late spring 2020, a source I knew to be reliable called me with a story,” writes Matthew Cole. “The Dutch government had hacked into Jared Kushner’s phone and monitored him as he accessed a Dubai-based bank account. What was odd, the source said, was that the money in the account—hundreds of millions of dollars—had come from a bank in Azerbaijan. Most importantly, Kushner appeared to have transferred significant amounts of money from the Dubai account to other individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary and a one-time hit man. The story sounded preposterous, I told my source. And yet. Six months later, I found myself speaking with someone else about the UAE government and their use of mercenaries in conflicts around the Middle East and Africa when I asked, on a whim, whether they knew anything about Kushner and bank transfers from a UAE account. My acquaintance grew quiet. Then they replied, ‘Yes.’” Kushner’s lawyer denied the bank account existed.

書中最引人矚目的指控，是阿拉伯聯合大公國與沙烏地阿拉伯領導層在川普首任期內，為庫什納設立至少2個銀行帳戶，總金額至少達20億美元（約台幣648億元）。柯爾引述阿聯酋情報高官沙姆西（Ali Al Shamsi）的話，稱庫什納是「我們有史以來最昂貴的員工」。
其中一個被稱為「Alpha」的帳戶，據稱存放於阿聯酋最大銀行第一阿布達比銀行（First Abu Dhabi Bank），金額約7.5億美元（約台幣243億元），由庫什納與阿聯酋總統扎耶德（Mohamed bin Zayed）共同監管，作為外交政策基金使用，目標之一是協助結束以巴衝突。另一個「Beta」帳戶據稱約10億美元（約台幣324億元），在以色列總理納坦雅胡（Benjamin Netanyahu）建議下，由MBZ透過亞塞拜然轉移至以色列央行。
⛔️A Huge International Scandal Involving Jared Kushner, Netanyahu, Mohamed Ben Salman‼️ ⛔️ American Investigation Reveals That Mohammed bin Salman and Mohammed bin Zayed Bribed Jared Kushner, Trump's Son-in-Law, with Billions of Dollars in Exchange for Advancing Their Political Agenda Inside the White House, and That Benjamin Netanyahu Participated in the Secret Financial Transfers! ⛔️Vanity Fair magazine published a bombshell investigation by investigative journalist Matthew Cole from his book *Princes and Thieves*, revealing that Saudi Arabia and the UAE deposited no less than $2 billion into secret bank accounts for Kushner, in exchange for his commitment to work on advancing Mohammed bin Salman and Mohammed bin Zayed's agenda with Trump, with a role for Netanyahu in arranging the financial transfers and concealing their sources. ⛔️The story began with a hack of Kushner's phone by Dutch military intelligence in 2018! ⛔️According to the investigation, Dutch intelligence accessed secret files from Russian military intelligence, which included photos from Kushner's phone. Through analysis of the hack, the Dutch exploited a security vulnerability in his iPhone X, becoming able to monitor his screen while he used it. And here's where the surprise came in! ⛔️Dutch intelligence discovered that Kushner repeatedly accessed a bank account in the UAE containing hundreds of millions of dollars, which had arrived via a bank in Azerbaijan. And most alarmingly, Kushner, according to the journalist's source, appeared to be transferring massive sums of money from this account to individuals, including a militia leader, a mercenary, and a former hired killer! ⛔️But where did the money come from? And why was it at the disposal of the U.S. president's son-in-law? ⛔️The investigation states that Mohammed bin Zayed and Mohammed bin Salman entered into secret arrangements with Kushner in 2017, at the start of Trump's first term. ⛔️Mohammed bin Salman was seeking to solidify his accession to the Saudi crown prince position, while Mohammed bin Zayed wanted to push the U.S. administration to scrap the nuclear deal with Iran, and Kushner wanted to leverage the two men's influence to impose a Palestinian settlement acceptable to Israel. ⛔️According to the investigation, bin Salman and bin Zayed offered to fund a secret slush fund to serve the foreign policy goals of the Trump administration, and they discussed allocating more than $10 billion, including funding political projects inside America to help Trump secure a second presidential term. ⛔️But the initial project changed, and it ended, according to what the magazine published, with the deposit of no less than $2 billion into at least two bank accounts to which Kushner was granted access, funded initially by bin Salman and bin Zayed, then by bin Zayed alone later on. ⛔️The first account: $750 million in the UAE! ⛔️The investigation reveals that around $750 million was deposited starting in 2017 into an account inside First Abu Dhabi Bank, whose board was then chaired by Tahnoun bin Zayed, brother of Mohammed bin Zayed. ⛔️The account was linked to the "Emirati Homeland" foundation, a government-funded entity that the investigation says was used as a front for financing secret Emirati military and intelligence operations abroad. ⛔️And most alarmingly, Mohammed bin Zayed and Tahnoun bin Zayed granted Kushner signing authority over this account, meaning he was not the legal owner of the funds, but he became bankingly able to dispose of them! ⛔️As for the money itself, it passed through Azerbaijani banks before reaching the UAE in U.S. dollars. The investigation explains that some Azerbaijani banks use complex financial arrangements to convert clients' money to dollars for commissions ranging between 6% and 7%, making it harder to trace the original source of the funds. ⛔️The second account: Around $1 billion in Israel under alleged oversight from Netanyahu!

柯爾的消息來源大多匿名，書中未附電子郵件或文件影像，但以詳細註腳標註訪談來源。他指控，庫什納曾透過一部遭俄羅斯與荷蘭情報單位駭入的iPhone部分管理這些帳戶。書中並描述中東權力運作中的勒索與暗殺手段，包括2018年沙烏地記者哈紹吉（Jamal Khashoggi）遭殺害，以及2019年阿聯酋記者兼詩人賽耶格（Habib Al Sayegh）遇害案。
庫什納的律師布里托（Alejandro Brito）向作者表示，庫什納「始終代表並尋求美國與美國總統的利益，並未與外國領導人達成未經美國總統同意且不符合美國最佳利益的任何協議或安排」。布里托強調：「任何指稱庫什納知情、有權限或參與任何政府資助或政府連結銀行帳戶相關行為的指控，完全虛假且構成誹謗」，並稱「根本沒有這些帳戶，也從未存在過」。
庫什納律師米澤爾（Chad Mizelle）在個人社群表示：「這本書的核心指控絕對虛假。這不是詮釋或記憶差異的問題：沒有銀行帳戶。它們不存在。這些是嚴重且誹謗性的指控，沒有任何證據支持」。
.@VanityFair posted an excerpt from a book containing outrageous and categorically false allegations. The allegations made by this author are completely insane and never happened. We denied every one of these claims on the record, yet the author failed to provide a single shred of evidence to substantiate any of them. No bank statements, wire transfer records, account numbers, transaction dates, or other verifiable details were provided to support these extraordinary accusations. During the period in question, I was one of the most scrutinized people in the world, subjected to intense media coverage, multiple congressional investigations, and a special counsel investigation. I voluntarily cooperated with these investigations, providing over 30 hours of testimony. None of these allegations ever surfaced, because none of these events ever happened. These are outrageous fabrications being presented as investigative journalism. This is not journalism. It is a mixture of fantasy, fiction, and advocacy, written by someone who is either deeply disturbed or acting with sinister intent.

《紐約時報》分析指出，若柯爾的指控屬實，庫什納與扎耶德的政治與財務關係，可能構成自1980年代雷根（Ronald Reagan）政府「伊朗門」（Iran-Contra）醜聞以來，美國外交政策在法律與民主監督之外運作的最嚴重案例。伊朗門涉及官員秘密售武伊朗並將收益資助尼加拉瓜叛軍；柯爾所指控的規模與影響則更為深遠，指庫什納協助塑造美國中東政策，同時獲得約20億美元的帳戶權限。
書中並回顧扎耶德如何透過中間人鎖定庫什納作為影響川普的管道，以及卡達透過主權基金協助庫什納家族紓困紐約第五大道666號（666 Fifth Avenue）不動產的公開報導。柯爾也提到，川普卸任後，沙烏地主權基金向庫什納的Affinity Partners私募基金投資20億美元（約台幣649億元）一事，持續引發利益衝突質疑。一名匿名阿拉伯官員據稱表示：「我們付錢給庫什納不是因為他是精明的投資人，而是為了讓他開心，這也讓他的岳父開心」。
儘管庫什納否認所有指控，並指出其任職期間完整財務揭露均已公開，外界仍關注他在川普第二任期中持續扮演的非正式外交角色。他近日與紐約房地產大亨、美國特使威特科夫（Steve Witkoff）一同尋求烏克蘭和平方案。
柯爾在書末表示，庫什納拒絕多次正式受訪請求，作者自2026年5月起即寄出問題清單並追蹤。荷蘭政府對手機駭入指控未予置評，沙烏地與阿聯酋大使館亦未回應《衛報》詢問。這本書以匿名來源為主、缺乏公開文件佐證，與庫什納團隊的全面否認形成鮮明對立，相關爭議預計將持續發酵。
