The college admissions bribery scandal has placed a fresh focus on how Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, got into Harvard.
WASHINGTON – The college admissions bribery investigation that led to charges on Tuesday against 50 people, including CEOs and Hollywood celebrities, has placed a new focus on how President Donald Trump's son-in-law got into Harvard.
Gordon noted that at the time, Harvard only accepted one out of every nine applicants and those at Jared Kushner's high school didn't believe his grades or test scores were good enough to attend the school. Gordon reported that unlike other large gifts to the school, Harvard hadn't sent out press releases announcing the donations. He said he found the donations in Kushner's finances after subpoenas from federal authorities made them public.
The investigation netted charges against 50 people, including CEOs, prominent financiers, college athletic coaches and actresses such as Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman.
