President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Charles Kushner, the father of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to France. Charles Kushner, a business leader and philanthropist, was pardoned by Trump in his first term after being convicted of various crimes including preparing false tax returns. Kushner has served time in federal prison and has been involved in philanthropic efforts since his release. Trump defended his decision to appoint Kushner, citing his record of reform and charity. Charles Kushner was prosecuted by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a vocal Trump critic, who once called his actions “loathsome” and “disgusting.” This controversial appointment comes amidst ongoing political turmoil and division within the Republican Party. Stay tuned for further developments on this story.
