Trump Nominates Pardoned Charles Kushner as Ambassador to France

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner, as ambassador to France. Charles Kushner, a real-estate developer, was pardoned by Trump in 2020 for previous federal convictions. This nomination marks the first formal offer of an administration position to a relative since Trump's re-election. The appointment, along with others announced, requires Senate approval. Charles Kushner's past legal issues, including a conviction for tax evasion and witness tampering, may influence the confirmation process.
