Allegation seems to be that Kushner got a change of foreign policy in order to get a bail-out from Qatar.

Investigation examines presidential son-in-law’s role in influencing US policy on Qatar
Lawmakers from the Senate Finance and House Foreign Affairs committees on Wednesday sent a wide-ranging document request to Brookfield Asset Management, which counts the Qatar Investment Authority among its major financial backers and signed a long-term lease on the office tower in 2018.
The deal followed frenetic efforts by the Kushner family to raise enough money to meet a $1.2bn mortgage payment on the tower, and coincided with a series of sharp turns in US foreign policy towards Qatar.
At the time, Mr Kushner, the presidential son-in-law and a senior White House adviser, was meeting Middle Eastern leaders outside traditional diplomatic channels and assuming a far-reaching role in crafting US foreign policy. “While Brookfield has claimed that Qatari representatives had no involvement in the 666 Fifth Avenue transaction,” Senator Ron Wyden and Representative Joaquin Castro wrote, “we remain troubled that Qatari funds ended up in a billion-dollar rescue for a company directly tied to Jared Kushner”.
