Billionaire, Trump-Pardoned Real Estate Developer Charles Kushner Confirmed as French Ambassador

HeadlineMay 20, 2025

The Senate has confirmed the billionaire real estate developer Charles Kushner as U.S. ambassador to France. Kushner is the father of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner. In 2020, Trump pardoned him for federal crimes, including witness tampering, after Kushner hired a sex worker to seduce his brother-in-law with instructions to secretly record the affair and to send video to Kushner’s own sister.
