Charles Kushner, the wealthy New Jersey developer who served nearly two years in prison more than a decade ago in a tax fraud case that grew into a bizarre tale involving sex tapes and a prostitute, was granted a full pardon late Wednesday by President Donald Trump.
Kushner is the father of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared, who is married to Ivanka Trump and is a senior advisor to the president.
In a clemency statement released by the White House at about 7:20 pm, the president granted full pardons to 26 individuals and commuted part or all of the sentences of an additional three people. In regard to Kushner, Trump said that Brett Tolman, the former U.S. Attorney for Utah, and Matt Schlapp and David Safavian of the American Conservative Union, supported a pardon of Kushner.
