Charles Kushner (born May 16, 1954) is an American real estate developer and disbarred former attorney.[1][2][3][4] He founded Kushner Companies in 1985.

In 2005, he was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering, and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, which he served in the Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery. As a convicted felon, he was also disbarred in three states. He later received a pardon issued by his son's father-in-law President Donald Trump on December 23, 2020.[5][6] Kushner has donated significant amounts to Trump's campaigns. Previously, he was a major Democratic party donor.[7][8]

His son Jared Kushner is the husband of Ivanka Trump and son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, during whose presidential administration he served as senior advisor from 2017 to 2021. He has three other children, including Joshua Kushner, and is the father-in-law of Karlie Kloss.
