One of those pardoned by President Trump in the waning days of his administration is the father of his son-in-law: Charles Kushner, a real estate mogul from New Jersey.

Kushner is the father of Presidential Adviser, and Trump son-in-law, Jared Kushner. He was convicted in 2005, by then-U.S. Attorney Chris Christie, of sixteen counts of tax evasion, one of witness tampering, and one of lying to the Federal Election Commission.
