This will be the last edition of Insider Weekly this year. Thank you for reading, have a great holiday season, and see you in 2021.
Kushner helped create a Trump campaign shell company
From Tom LoBianco and Dave Levinthal:
Jared Kushner approved the creation of a shell company that spent almost half of the Trump campaign's $1.26 billion war chest, a person familiar with the operation told Insider exclusively.
Kushner directed Lara Trump, Vice President Mike Pence's nephew John Pence, and Trump campaign Chief Financial Officer Sean Dollman to serve on the shell company's board, the person told Insider.
American Made Media Consultants became the source of consternation for President Donald Trump's campaign staff, who were kept in the dark about its operations.
Despite its $617 million spending through AMMC, the Trump campaign publicly disclosed little information about the company, including how it used the money.

Amazon's healthcare dreams
From Blake Dodge:
Amazon, the $1.6 trillion retail and technology behemoth, is plotting a major move to disrupt healthcare, building on its multiyear push into the pharmacy industry.
Amazon is planning to provide online and in-person primary care to workers at other companies, five people familiar with the matter told Business Insider. Two of them have direct knowledge of Amazon's plans. The people asked not to be named because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
It's still early in Amazon's healthcare push, and the company has a long way to go before it can influence the highly regulated healthcare industry and win over employers who in many cases are also competitors.

Ghislaine Maxwell's secret husband
From Becky Peterson:
Scott Borgerson's life was turned upside down by the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell, his longtime romantic partner who is accused of child sex trafficking with Jeffrey Epstein.
Business Insider spoke with Borgerson and 15 people close to the couple and reviewed public documents to understand how Borgerson's life and career intersected with Maxwell.
He secretly married Maxwell in 2016, at which point his professional network expanded to include big-name investors like Google's Eric Schmidt and the billionaire hedge-fund manager Paul Tudor Jones.
Borgerson left his company CargoMetrics in July after Maxwell's arrest when the board of directors found out he lied about their relationship.
Borgerson, who is deeply religious, is still trying to figure out what this means for his life, he told Business Insider. Whatever he does next, he said, he wants it to be in the service of God.

From Sean Czarnecki, Alex Morrell, and Rebecca Ungarino:
Mortgage giant Fannie Mae is angling to pull off an 11th-hour exit of government conservatorship before Donald Trump leaves the White House.
The effort is considered a long shot, but senior leaders at the agency have directed employees to be prepared to work over the holidays if a decision is reached on the matter.
Employees were notified last week an announcement regarding the release could come over the holiday season and could include "questions that need to be answered quickly."
