President-elect Donald Trump nominated Charles Kushner, the father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner, as the US ambassador to France, continuing a pattern of controversial picks. Kushner is known for his business acumen and philanthropy, but also has a history of legal troubles.
Trump ’s latest pick: Charles Kushner , felon and father of son-in-law Jared, as US ambassador to France
The choice is in keeping with Trump’s pattern, so far, of selecting people, often wealthy, who are close to his family or of proven loyalty. Kushner is a multimillionaire real estate executive and former attorney; his son was a senior adviser during Trump’s first term. The case, which was prosecuted by then US attorney Chris Christie, included sordid details, to which Kushner admitted: that he had hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, a man cooperating in a campaign finance inquiry, and then videotaped the encounter and sent it to the man’s wife, Kushner’s sister, to dissuade her from testifying against him.
