Jared Kushner is facing new heat from members of Congress. Democratic lawmakers are expanding their investigation into a business deal Kushner made in Albania.

Kushner, the son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, has plans to build a luxury resort in the country. The project has raised red flags for some in Washington who worry about how he got the deal and who might be benefiting from it.

Representative Jamie Raskin and other Democrats sent letters asking for more details about the project. They want to know if Kushner used his past position in the White House to help secure the land or the funding for the development.

This move comes after Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries faced some criticism for meeting with Kushner recently. Now, the party is pushing back by focusing more attention on the business ties.

There is also talk that this could turn into an official House investigation regarding foreign bribery concerns. Lawmakers want to ensure that international deals made by people with ties to former government officials follow the law and do not create secret conflicts of interest.

Kushner has previously stated that his business dealings are private and follow all rules. For now, the probe continues as Democrats dig for more answers about the Albania project.
