In 2005, Kushner père, the US ambassador to Paris, pleaded guilty to 16 counts of tax evasion, making false statements and witness tampering
Kushner spent 14 months in prison before being pardoned by Trump.

one of my irregular conversations trying to persuade someone the problem of homelessness was not driven by immigrants - I again hit the “our people first” argument.
