War criminals, creepo dad: The Trump pardons that defy belief
The French, regularly described as “the oldest ally of the United States” by American politicians looking for a leg-up in the gorgeous halls of the Élysée Palace, must be thrilled.
Donald Trump’s pick for the next US Ambassador to Paris, you may have noted, is one Charles Kushner.
Kushner was sentenced to two years in prison in 2005 for tax evasion, 16 campaign funding felonies and witness tampering.
