Above is Jon Ossoff’s post of his Savannah speech, to which Jack Hopkins’ article refers.
How to get a protected island when Daddy-In-Law is President
In his Substack Jack Hopkins Now newsletter from July 1, Jack Hopkins tells the story of Sen. Jon Ossoff of Georgia and a scathing speech against one example of corruption, of oh so many, in the current administration.
At a campaign rally in Savannah, Georgia, Ossoff accused Jared Kushner, “United States Special Envoy for Peace” and son-in-law of President Trump, of benefiting from his family ties in his overseas business deals.
Ossoff alleged that Kushner’s investment firm, backed by billions from Persian Gulf investors, received special treatment from the Albanian government to develop a luxury resort on the protected island of Sazan after legal barriers were removed.
Ossoff also highlighted widespread anti-corruption protests in Albania, which protesters have dubbed the “Flamingo Revolution.” According to his account, thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets over concerns about government corruption and the island development, while Albanian anti-corruption authorities have reportedly begun investigating aspects of the deal, including freezing some related bank accounts.
Ossoff argued that the island project is part of a broader pattern in which foreign investment into Trump family businesses is followed by favorable U.S. policy decisions, summarizing it as “money goes in, favors come out.”
The article notes that these allegations were made during a political campaign speech and have not been established through congressional or judicial findings. Ossoff pledged that, if political control changes after the midterm elections, he would seek congressional hearings to investigate the allegations under oath.
