Charles Kushner, father of Trump’s son-in-law, confirmed as ambassador to (masonic) France

The Senate confirmed Charles Kushner — the father of President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, and who received a presidential pardon in 2020 — as the U.S. ambassador to France and Monaco.

The nomination passed Monday night with 51 votes to 45. Cory Booker, a senator from Kushner’s home state of New Jersey, was the only Democrat to back the nomination, while Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska was the only Republican to oppose.

Kushner, a real estate developer whose son Jared is married to Trump’s eldest daughter Ivanka, was sentenced in 2005 to two years in prison after pleading guilty to making false statements to the Federal Election Commission, witness tampering and tax evasion over $6 million in political contributions and gifts mischaracterized as business expenses.

In 2005, following an investigation by United States attorney for the District of New Jersey Chris Christie negotiated a plea agreement with him, under which Kushner pleaded guilty to 18 counts of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering. As a convicted felon, Charles Kushner was also disbarred and prohibited from practicing law in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Kushner hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, arranging to record a sexual encounter between the two and send the tape to his sister. The witness tampering charge arose from Kushner's retaliation against William Schulder, his sister Esther's husband, who was cooperating with federal investigators against Kushner.

On December 23, 2020, President Trump issued a full and unconditional pardon to Kushner, his daughter's father-in-law, citing his record of "reform" and "charity".
