● What did Kushner say in his memoir published in October 2022, "اختراق التاريخ" Breaking History” , chapter 35 "The Enemy From within" P265 about the story of the phone call that former U.S. President Donald Trump made with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky in 2019 regarding the activities of Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden... in Ukraine..!
● Kushner spoke about the phone call that former U.S. President Trump made with the Ukrainian president in 2019, which was leaked by a man from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, the CIA, in the White House, and which would lead to the impeachment of former U.S. President Trump from office...! Kushner said in his memoir:
- "On August 8, 2019, Jerry Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, announced that his committee had launched an impeachment inquiry, but it was not clear why."
- "On September 24, shortly after Trump delivered his annual address to the United Nations General Assembly, Pelosi (the Speaker of the House) announced a formal inquiry to impeach him."
- "The stated reason for the inquiry put forward by the Democrats focused on comments the President made two months earlier in a phone call with the newly elected Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky; Trump had asked Zelensky to investigate whether Hunter Biden's appointment to the board of the company Burisma, an Ukrainian natural gas company, was an act of corruption"!
- It was also said at the same time that former U.S. President Trump was fighting with Congress over nearly $4 billion in foreign aid, including $250 million for Ukraine. The President had been refusing to approve what he viewed as wasteful foreign aid programs. He believed it would be better to spend the money in the United States, not in foreign countries that are often rife with corruption.!
- Trump had notified Congress that he intended to "hold" these funds and return them to the Treasury unless Congress overturned his decision.!
- The Democrats had informants who alleged that the administration was withholding funds from Ukraine, and they accused President Trump in turn: that depriving Ukraine of funds was a quid pro quo and a threat from President Trump...to Ukraine..unless the Ukrainians resumed their investigation of Hunter Biden!
- "Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee (Pelosi's colleague), somehow obtained a rough transcript of Trump's July 25, 2019 call with Zelensky (the Ukrainian president). Schiff presented his view as fact, saying, 'the notes of the call reflect a much more damning conversation than I or many others had imagined... The President of the United States betrayed his oath of office and sacrificed our national security in doing so.' – according to sources- !"
- However, the Democrats failed, after a two-year search, to find a reason to impeach President Trump at that time!.
- Kushner continues in his aforementioned memoir: "The day after Pelosi announced impeachment proceedings, we were still in New York for meetings with foreign leaders. While I was sitting in the President's secure meeting room between meetings, Acting Chief of Staff "Mick Mulvaney" handed me a file marked 'Secret.' It contained the transcript of Trump's July 25 call. He asked me... 'What do you think of this?' I read the transcript. I said: 'It doesn't seem like a big deal to me.' 'This is Trump being Trump.'"
- Kushner continued about the phone conversation: "It was a transcript and felt the same way. We discussed whether it would be released; the press had gotten itself into a frenzy of speculation based on Schiff's framing – then chairman of the House Intelligence Committee – that distorted the President's call."
- "While we weighed the potential benefits and downsides of releasing the transcript, White House adviser Pat Cipollone called Mulvaney, and we argued that doing so would set a bad precedent; foreign leaders would be less likely to speak candidly on future calls if they believed their own words could become public"!.
- "We were dealing with the court of public opinion, where the rules were different. When the President (Trump) reviewed the transcript, he immediately stood with Mulvaney and me and announced his decision via Twitter: 'I am currently at the United Nations representing our country, but I allowed the full version to be released tomorrow, fully declassified and unredacted, of my phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky. You will see it was a very friendly and appropriate call. No pressure, and unlike Joe Biden and his son, no quid pro quo! This is nothing more than the continuation of the greatest and most destructive witch hunt in history!'"
- "On the same day the President released the transcript, he was scheduled to meet in New York with President Zelensky. During the meeting, Zelensky was candid. Trump estimated that the Ukrainian president was trying to fix a broken situation and that he did not want to be in the middle of American politics. As the two leaders sat before a crowd of press, one reporter shouted a question to Zelensky (the Ukrainian president) about whether he had been pressured to initiate an investigation."
- "Zelensky replied, affirming Trump's message: 'No one pushed me.' Between the content of the transcript and Zelensky's remark, the Democrats made a tactical error by engaging in such a shabby spectacle. But while they embarked on official accountability proceedings in Congress and attacked the President in the press, the White House had no communications strategy to rebut their assaults"
● Profile of Hunter, the second son of the current U.S. President Mr. Biden
● It is worth noting, according to sources (Agence France-Presse and Al Jazeera): that Hunter Biden (49 years old) studied law and graduated from the venerable Georgetown and Yale, where he first worked at a New York law firm, then co-founded an investment advisory firm called "Rosemont Seneca Partners."
- These sources add that Hunter, Hunter son of the current U.S. President Biden, had no experience in the energy sector, but he has a long history of questionable business dealings and a checkered past that included being expelled from the U.S. Navy for cocaine use (according to the cited sources)."
● His father Joe Biden at the time of the appointment was Vice President of the United States during Mr. Obama's presidency, and Hunter received consulting fees of $83,000 per month. Those sources said that the Ukrainian attorney general tried to investigate the appointment but was removed after Vice President Joe Biden at the time (it was alleged) pressured for his dismissal, which President Trump at the time considered... a potential breach of public trust, and wanted to know more about the surrounding circumstances.!

● In this context, the British newspaper The Daily Mail announced on 26-3-2022 that it had obtained documents that partially confirm the Russian accusations against Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, of involvement in financing biological laboratories in Ukraine.!
● The commander of Russia's Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Protection Forces revealed documents and intelligence indicating the involvement of U.S. government agencies in the activity of Ukrainian biological laboratories, and their funding by institutions close to the current American leadership, notably through the investment fund (Rosemont Seneca), which is headed by Hunter Biden.
● According to the newspaper, intelligence says that what the Russian military commander revealed was a propaganda stunt to justify military intervention in Ukraine... and to sow discord in the United States... but the emails from Hunter's "abandoned" laptop show that he helped secure millions of dollars in funding for Metabiota, a Department of Defense contractor specializing in researching disease agents that could be used as biological weapons.
● Metabiota also provided a Ukrainian gas company surrounded by corruption suspicions named Burisma with a scientific project that included high-security biological laboratories in Ukraine.!
● Among the messages, there was one saying that Metabiota's vice president Mary Gutiérrez wrote a memo to Hunter, providing an overview of Metabiota, its involvement in Ukraine, and how we can leverage our team and networks and our concepts to reinforce Ukraine's cultural and economic independence from Russia and continue its integration into the Western community".!
● Metabiota was operating in Ukraine on behalf of the American defense company Black & Veatch, which built laboratories in Ukraine to analyze lethal diseases and biological weapons.
● Emails and defense contract records reviewed by the Daily Mail indicate that Hunter played a prominent role in ensuring that Metabiota was able to conduct its pathogen research a few hundred miles from the Russian border.
● Government spending records also show that the Department of Defense awarded a contract worth $18.4 million to Metabiota between February 2014 and November 2016, with $307,091 allocated to "Ukraine research projects".
