Family ties in diplomatic circles
President-Elect Donald Trump has nominated Charles Kushner, the father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner, for the role of ambassador to France. This move showcases the family's deepening involvement in key diplomatic positions.
A controversial past
Charles Kushner, a real estate developer and philanthropist, has had a controversial past, including a conviction for tax evasion and witness tampering. Despite these issues, Trump praised him as a "tremendous business leader" and expressed confidence in his ability to strengthen America's partnership with France.
Family connections in politics
Jared Kushner, a former senior advisor to Trump, is married to the President-Elect's daughter Ivanka. He has worked on notable initiatives such as Operation Warp Speed and criminal justice reform. Charles Kushner's pardon in 2020 by Trump raised eyebrows, given the nature of his convictions.
Controversial pardons and political fallout
Charles Kushner's pardon by Trump was met with criticism, with former US attorney Chris Christie calling his offenses "loathsome" and "disgusting." The President-Elect's decision to nominate Kushner for a diplomatic role has once again brought attention to the family's connections and controversies.
