President-elect Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he intends to nominate Charles Kushner, a real estate developer and the father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner, as ambassador to France. Trump praised Charles Kushner as a strong advocate for the country and highlighted his business acumen and philanthropy. The post also mentioned Jared Kushner’s role in the White House, particularly in Operation Warp Speed, Criminal Justice Reform, and the Abraham Accords.
Charles Kushner was previously sentenced to two years in prison in 2005 after pleading guilty to tax evasion, witness tampering, and making illegal campaign donations. He was prosecuted by Chris Christie, who later became governor of New Jersey and a political opponent of Trump. Christie called the Kushner case “loathsome” and “disgusting” and was critical of Trump’s decision to pardon Charles Kushner in 2020.
The post also congratulated Charles Kushner’s family, including his wife, children, and grandchildren. Trump expressed his intention to strengthen America’s partnership with France, one of the country’s oldest allies. The nomination of Charles Kushner as ambassador to France reflects Trump’s desire to have a strong advocate representing the United States’ interests in the country.
