Why is Cory Booker nonetheless voting for Trump’s agenda?
SHARE

Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner and father-in-law of Ivanka Trump, was confirmed as ambassador to France and Monaco by the Senate Monday evening, simply over 4 years after President Donald Trump pardoned him for a federal conviction.

The 51-45 vote was virtually totally alongside celebration traces, with one notable Republican defection, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and one eyebrow-raising Democratic vote in assist of the appointment: Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey.

Sure, that Cory Booker. The identical man who torched Trump, Elon Musk, and the GOP from the Senate ground simply weeks in the past for gutting the federal authorities. Now he’s serving to them run it.

Booker and the Kushner household go means again. In 2013, Jared and Ivanka hosted a fundraiser for Booker’s first Senate run. That goodwill outlasted not only a presidency however a federal jail sentence—and one of many sleaziest political revenge plots in trendy reminiscence.


Charles Kushner, who was confirmed as Trump’s ambassador to France and Monaco on Monday.

In 2004, Charles pleaded responsible to creating false statements to the Federal Election Fee, tax evasion, and witness tampering. He served 14 months in federal jail and the remainder of his two-year sentence in a midway home in Newark, New Jersey.

However the stomach-turning half is that, after studying his brother-in-law was cooperating with federal investigators, Charles admitted to hiring a intercourse employee to seduce him. He secretly filmed the encounter and despatched the tape to his spouse, Charles’ personal sister. Although his plan failed, it was disgusting nonetheless.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who introduced the case, as soon as known as it “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted.”

And but, right here we’re.

At his affirmation listening to, Charles informed the Senate International Relations Committee that he had merely made—and paid for—a mistake.

“My misjudgment and mistake was over twenty years ago. Since then, I’ve been pardoned by President Trump. But I don’t sit here before you today and tell you I’m a perfect person. I made a very, very, very serious mistake, and I paid a very heavy price for that mistake,” he stated.

Technically, sure, he went to jail. However then he received a presidential pardon. And now he will get to dwell in Paris on the taxpayers’ dime.

Notably, different Democrats weren’t having it.

“Charles Kushner was convicted of making false statements to the FEC and pleaded guilty to tax evasion & witness tampering. And Trump pardoned him. Of course, I voted NO to advance Kushner’s nomination as AMBASSADOR TO FRANCE,” Sen. Patty Murray of Washington wrote on X.

So why did Booker say sure? He’s not the one Democrat who has backed a Trump nominee, however now he’s performed it greater than as soon as. And nonetheless, it’s exhausting to think about Republicans returning the favor. Sharing a house state with Charles doesn’t minimize it, particularly when GOP officers are actively prosecuting Democrats for much much less.

Since that marathon ground speech in April, Booker has largely caught together with his celebration—however he’s defected on just a few key picks. Along with Charles, he additionally voted to verify former Sen. David Perdue of Georgia as ambassador to China and Houston billionaire Tilman Fertitta as ambassador to Italy and San Marino.

And Charles isn’t the one member of Trump’s prolonged clan touchdown a plum gig. In December, Trump tapped Massad Boulos—Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law—to be a senior adviser on the Center East. That very same month, he nominated Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-fiancée, to be ambassador to Greece.

Household first, apparently. Even when a few of them have rap sheets.
