Kushner family's sales pitch: "Corruption, pure and simple," says expert
NBC's Tracy Connor: "A former White House ethics adviser says that a sales pitch by Jared Kushner's sister to potential Chinese investors that was centered on a controversial visa program came 'very, very close to solicitation of a bribe.'

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Monday that Kushner, who has divested from his family firm, had "nothing to do" with the investor recruitment, and Meyer said through a spokesperson that she was sorry if anyone misinterpreted her mention of her brother."
