Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

HeadlineDec 02, 2024

Kushner is the father of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, who is married to Trump’s daughter Ivanka. In 2020, Trump pardoned Charles Kushner, who spent 14 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to tax evasion and witness tampering in the 2000s.

Trump has also picked the Lebanese-born billionaire Massad Boulos to serve as his new adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. Boulos is the father-in-law of Trump’s other daughter Tiffany.
