Donald Trump, the 78-year-old president-elect, pardoned Charles Kushner in 2020 during his first administration. Kushner, who is the father of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, had been convicted in 2005 on charges including tax evasion, witness tampering, and making illegal campaign donations. He served a prison sentence in 2006 for these crimes. The pardon has drawn criticism, with some alleging it was politically motivated due to Kushner's familial ties to Trump.
