Charles Kushner (born May 16, 1954) is an American real estate developer and disbarred attorney[1] who founded Kushner Companies in 1985. In 2024, he was nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as United States Ambassador to France during his second administration.
In 2005, Kushner was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering, and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, which he served in the Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery. As a convicted felon, he was also disbarred in three states. He later received a pardon issued by his son's father-in-law President Donald Trump on December 23, 2020.[2][3] Kushner has donated significant amounts to Trump's campaigns. Previously, he was a major Democratic party donor.[4][5]
His elder son Jared is the husband of Ivanka Trump, the daughter of the President of the United States Donald Trump, during whose first presidential administration he served as senior advisor from 2017 to 2021. He has three other children, including his younger son Joshua, a venture capitalist who is married to the supermodel Karlie Kloss.
In November 2024, Trump stated his intention to nominate Kushner as the United States ambassador to France for his second term.
