Book says Dutch spies viewed Kushner’s iPhone after GRU breach
Original title: Jared Kushner Hacked Phone Reveals Secret Negotiations, Millions in Transactions
Matthew Cole writes that MIVD saw a Dubai account that had received hundreds of millions from Azerbaijan.
In a Vanity Fair book excerpt, Matthew Cole writes that Dutch military intelligence monitored Jared Kushner’s iPhone X after finding GRU screenshots of the device. He says MIVD used an iPhone flaw for screen visibility, not full device control, and saw logins to a UAE bank account funded from Azerbaijan. The excerpt further alleges Emirati and Saudi payments into Kushner-linked accounts. Those claims rest on the author’s unnamed sources.
Unconfirmed: The account is the author’s, from unnamed sources; no official confirmation appears in the excerpt.
- Cole places the GRU file find in late 2017 and Dutch access in early 2018.
- The device was an iPhone X, which Apple released in November 2017.
- He says MIVD recruited a GRU operative who traveled to the UK.
- The excerpt claims at least $2 billion went into at least two accounts.
