Trump became the leader of the swamp and abdicated his presidency pardoning Jared's father. His father has a great past...his only problem was he got caught. Now, Trump gives the felon a pardon.
President Donald Trump continued his pardon spree on Wednesday, and alongside allies and former campaign officials, he pardoned Charles Kushner, the father of White House senior advisor Jared Kushner, who is also Trump's son-in-law.
The elder Kushner was convicted in 2005 for preparing false tax returns, witness retaliation, and making false statements to the Federal Election Commission. He pleaded guilty and served 2 years in prison.
Charles Kushner and his father founded Kushner Companies in 1985. Charles ran the New York City real estate company until he was sentenced to prison in 2005.
In 2003, prosecutors investigated him for making illegal campaign donations, and at the time, his brother-in-law and former business partner William Schulder had assisted their probe.
Once Charles learned of Schulder's cooperation, he hired a sex worker to attempt to seduce Schulder and sleep with him, an act that Charles had recorded with a hidden camera. He delivered the tapes to Schulder's wife (Kushner’s sister)as revenge.
In the end, Charles pleaded guilty to 16 counts of tax evasion, one count of retaliating against a federal witness, and one count of lying to the FEC.
He served a 14-month prison sentence in Alabama, where his family visited him on a weekly basis, according to the Real Deal.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who prosecuted Charles Kushner as then-US attorney for the state, told PBS's Margaret Hoover on "Firing Line" in 2019 it was "one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted."
