Charles Kushner, father of Donald Trump's son-in-law, appointed US ambassador to – Libération

The American president-elect announced a surprising new appointment this Saturday, November 30 for the post of representative of the United States in , with a man who has been in prison for tax embezzlement.

A strange new piece on the chessboard set up by the future American president. Donald Trump announced this Saturday evening, November 30, to appoint Charles Kushner, the father of the son-in-law and former advisor to President-elect Jared Kushner, as United States ambassador to . Charles Kushner spent a year in federal prison for tax embezzlement and was pardoned by Donald Trump towards the end of his term in the White House.

Ce “brilliant business leader” in real estate, father of Ivanka Trump's husband, will be sent to Paris to “strengthen the partnership between the United States and France, our oldest ally and one of our strongest”wrote Donald Trump on his Truth Social network.

Since his election against Kamala Harris on November 5, Donald Trump has made a number of sensational appointments within his administration, surrounding himself with loyalists with often controversial profiles.

He notably appointed as Minister of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr, a man notoriously skeptical of vaccines. Libertarian billionaire Elon Musk must co-direct a commission responsible for cutting public spending.

Donald Trump also appointed as defense minister Pete Hegseth, a Fox News anchor who was investigated for sexual assault, without a complaint being filed.

Armed arm

The Republican tribune also tried to impose Matt Gaetz, a lawmaker accused of having a sexual relationship with a minor, for the Justice Department. But faced with the outcry triggered by this project, the person ended up giving up. In his place, Donald Trump chose one of his ex-lawyers, Pam Bondi. She will be assisted in the ministry by three of the billionaire's personal lawyers – Todd Blanche, Emil Bove and John Sauer.

Their mission is clear: to put an end to what Donald Trump, convicted criminally at the end of May, considers to be a “instrumentalization” of justice, and become the armed arm of his vengeance.
