Charles Kushner appointed as ambassador to France by Trump, following his son Jared Kushner’s recommendation

President-elect Donald Trump has announced his intention to nominate Charles Kushner, a real estate developer and the father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner, as ambassador to France. Trump praised Charles Kushner as a business leader and philanthropist who will advocate for the country’s interests. He also mentioned Jared Kushner’s work in his first administration, including Operation Warp Speed, Criminal Justice Reform, and the Abraham Accords. Charles Kushner was previously sentenced to two years in prison in 2005 for tax evasion, witness tampering, and making illegal campaign donations. He was prosecuted by Chris Christie, who later became a major Trump adversary. Christie called the Kushner case loathsome and disgusting. In 2020, Trump pardoned Charles Kushner along with other individuals after losing his re-election bid. The nomination of Charles Kushner as ambassador to France signifies Trump’s intention to strengthen America’s partnership with one of its oldest allies. This move also highlights the continuing influence of the Kushner family within the Trump administration.
