Trump Nominates Pardoned Developer Charles Kushner as U.S. Ambassador to France
Nov 30, 2024, 06:50 PM
President Donald Trump has nominated Charles Kushner, a prominent real estate developer and the father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner, to serve as the next U.S. Ambassador to France. Charles Kushner, who was previously convicted of tax evation, illegal campaign contributions, and witness tampering, and who spent 14 months in prison before being pardoned by Trump during the final days of his first presidency, is considered a controversial choice. Trump praised Kushner as "a tremendous business leader, philanthropist, and dealmaker, who will be a strong advocate representing our country and its interests." His appointment is subject to Senate confirmation.
