Były więzień zostanie wysłany przez Trumpa do Francji jako ambasador, była to decyzja odkrytego teścia.
Trump enjoys appointing various important positions to members of his family, and this comes as no surprise to anyone. During his first term, he appointed his son-in-law Jared Kushner as a senior advisor. However, it seems that we won’t see Kushner in the administration of the president-elect, as he announced in February of this year that he does not plan to serve Trump anymore and wants to focus on his business ventures. After leaving the White House in 2021 with his father-in-law and transitioning to the financial sector by founding an investment firm, Affinity Part, in Miami, he seems to have no intention of returning to big politics.
Since his son-in-law is too busy, Trump calls upon his father, Charles, to serve. They know each other quite well, as the businessman has generously donated to the Republicans multiple times. Trump reciprocated in 2020 by granting him presidential clemency. Despite serving almost two years in prison and also being stripped of his professional license, Kushner had a problem being a felon that posed a reputational issue for the whole company he led, so Trump’s gesture had real consequences.
Who is Charles Kushner? The patriarch of the Kushner family is 70 years old. He was born into a Jewish family that survived the Holocaust and emigrated from Eastern Poland. His father, Joseph Berkovitz, was an American developer and businessman who left a substantial fortune for his children.
Charles Kushner, a lawyer by education, was stripped of his professional license. In 1985, he inherited 4,000 apartments in New Jersey from his father and founded Kushner Companies.
In 2004, the future US ambassador to France was imprisoned. He was accused of tax evasion, fraud against the Federal Election Commission, and witness retaliation. In a settlement with the prosecution, Kushner also admitted to hiring a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law and sending the recordings to his sister. After his release from prison, Kushner hired two colleagues he met in prison (who were serving time for fraud) in his real estate management company. He also expressed regret for his actions and stated in an interview, „I believe that God and my parents in heaven have forgiven me for what I did, which was wrong.”
Kushner’s wealth now includes ownership of 17,000 apartments in New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and Tennessee. The Kushner family also controls another 2,100 properties in various upscale neighborhoods. It is estimated that Kushner’s fortune amounts to $1.8 billion.
Kushner has been supporting Trump for several years. In August 2015, he donated $100,000 to the Make America Great Again PAC. In 2023, he contributed a million dollars to Trump’s campaign.
