In 1978, Bush and Osama bin Laden’s brother, Salem bin Laden, founded Arbusto Energy, an oil company based in Texas.
Several bin Laden family members invested millions in The Carlyle Group, a private global equity firm based in Washington, DC. The company’s senior advisor was Bush’s father, former President George H.W. Bush. After news of the bin Laden-Bush connection became public, the elder Bush stepped down from Carlyle.
Interestingly, on Sept. 11, 2001, members of the Carlyle Group — including Bush senior, and his former secretary of state, James Baker — were meeting at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington, D.C., along with Shafiq bin Laden, another one of Osama bin Laden’s brothers.
While all flights were halted following the terrorist attacks, there was one exception made: The White House authorized planes to pick up 140 Saudi nationals, including 24 members of the bin Laden family, living in various cities in the U.S. to bring them back to Saudi Arabia, where they would be safe. They were never interrogated.

Help me climb Mount Everest to shine a light for struggling veterans: https://gofundme.com/challengeeverest
Happy Fathers Day, men, and a special shoutout to those who can't be together today for whatever reason 🙏 I've been spoiled with Karate Kid Legends at the cinema, a nutroast and a trip to my pa's. Spent the afternoon sorting out the gears on this bad boy. It's a specialist built Salsa Cuthroat gravel bike designed specifically for the gruelling 3000-mile Tour Divide race across the USA from Canada to Mexico down through the Rockies that I will be competing in as part of my 'mad' quadrathlon' to shine a light for struggling veterans - running the length of the UK (done), rowing across the Atlantic (done), summiting Everest, ... Tour Divide 👊❤️🌞 #tourdivide #Everest #atlanticrow #jogle
