🧾 Kushner has a criminal record for filing false tax returns, witness tampering, and making false statements to federal authorities. In 2005, he served two years in prison and was pardoned by Donald Trump in 2020.
🗳️ His candidacy was supported by 51 senators, including Democrat Cory Booker, while 45 voted against. The appointment was not backed by some Republicans, including Lisa Murkowski.
🗣️ During the hearings, Kushner admitted his guilt: “I paid a high price, but I’ve become a different person,” he stated. However, critics condemned the decision as an act of nepotism and an inappropriate move for a strategic position in France.
🏛️ This appointment is part of a broader trend — Trump’s relatives are gaining influence. Massad Boulos, Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law, is already working in the White House as a senior advisor.
