A website billing itself as “the first testing center locator for COVID-19” has close ties to Trump’s senior official and son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
The website, called Oscar, was co-founded in 2013 by Kushner and his brother, Joshua.

Jared allegedly divested from the company when taking a position at the White House. As of December 2018, his brother held a controlling percentage in Oscar.

Oscar launched their testing center tracker on the same day that Trump falsely claimed that Google was working on a site to centralize coronavirus testing resources.
Here’s what’s shocking, no one is shocked by the treachery of this #administration . @realDonaldTrump must go.

Oscar denies having any official connection to the White House.
However, many on Twitter were quick to wonder if the president and his advisors knew that a Kushner-owned company stood to profit off of the coronavirus crisis.
Please help me get this article out far and wide so that people are informed about the money the Kushner family stands to make from coronavirus and the conflict of interest Jared Kushner continues to have in his role as WH Sr Adviser. #CoronavirusOutbreak https://t.co/kVD0gUZ8bO

Kushner has become a key figure in the Trump administration’s lackluster coronavirus response. According to the New York Times,
Mr. Kushner’s early involvement with dealing with the virus was in advising the president that the media’s coverage exaggerated the threat.
What an amazing coincidence that the very first testing centers for #COVID19 are being built by a company owned by Jared Kushner's brother😳
A reminder that even during a Pandemic—the top priority for the 45 & his family is their own financial gain. smhhttps://t.co/swenKoNUck

Is it a total coincidence that a company run by the brother of Trump’s son-in-law just happened to create a website eerily similar to one that the president promoted at a press conference?
Government should look at the procurement process, how Josh Kushner ( Jared Kushner’s little brother) company has the first covid-19 testing center setup? Is this what Jared was waiting for?

Or is this just another day of nepotism under 45?
We can’t say for sure. But as Oscar rushes to fill a niche opened by Trump’s mishandling of the coronavirus, it’s clear that they will be using this disaster to their advantage.
I know we want to talk about the debate but let’s not let this story get lost: the first #coronavirus testing locator site is being launched by Oscar Health - the company owned by Jared Kushner’s brother Josh. WE WENT WEEKS WITHOUT TESTING & NOW IT’S CLEAR WE WERE BEING GRIFTED.

Besides, it isn’t hard to believe that Jared and his brother are grifting off of father-in-law Trump’s presidency. Trump’s children have been capitalizing on these last three years.

Ivanka Trump’s recent trips to India and Dubai on the taxpayer’s dime have earned her the nickname Nepotism Barbie on Twitter.
Her delusion is that she is a Princess & member of a royal family. Dovetails nicely with her father's delusions of grandeur and his malignant narcissism. Holiday on the taxpayers dime. https://t.co/BNiX8NMfML via @HuffPostPol

When Donald Trump Jr.’s book titled Triggered debuted at number one on the NYT’s best-seller list, it was because the RNC manipulated the rankings with its bulk orders.
Why would the RNC place huge orders of Jr.’s book? Because his daddy is president, of course!
… trump jr.: i haven't been enriched by "my father's taxpayer-funded office…"
gop fundraising email: donate to get a copy of trump jr.'s book on us.

When he isn’t buying his way onto a best seller’s list, Jr. likes to go trophy-hunting and kill endangered animals.
In 2019, he went rare sheep hunting in Mongolia, but instead of landing in hot water when he shot the endangered Argali, he was given a retroactive hunting license.
@realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr
Aren’t you grifters millionaires?
Why do Americans need to pay for #DonTheLessor to slaighter endangered sheep or any of his personal trips? https://t.co/Nd4TDuuvX3

Eric Trump also gets in on the grifting. In 2017, he took a trip to the Dominican Republic where he just happened to revive a 10-year old deal.
Eric Trump is out licensing the president's name in Dominican Republic. It never ends….
