Trump nominates Charles Kushner Ambassador to France [View all]

Donald Trump has nominated one of his in-laws to serve as ambassador to France.

The president-elect tapped son-in-law Jared Kushner's father, real estate developer Charles Kushner, to the diplomatic post on Saturday touting his business accomplishments and public service but studiously avoiding mention of his criminal conviction for a scheme to hire a sex worker to seduce his own brother-in-law and send a recording of the encounter to his sister.
