'Let's remember that the case was not tried. Mr. Kushner pled guilty,' the former New Jersey district attorney said Sunday.

Before he pled guilty to a range of crimes, Kushner had discovered that his brother-in-law was cooperating with federal investigators. He then decided to hatch a plan to intimidate his brother-in-law, by paying a prostitute to lure him to a hotel room. That room had hidden cameras set up to record the encounter. Kushner had the video sent to his sister, the wife of his brother-in-law.

"I mean it's one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted when I was U.S. attorney. And I was U.S. attorney in New Jersey," Christie told PBS News last year. Christie alleged in a 2019 book that he was fired from Trump's transition team because Jared Kushner, who serves as a close adviser to his father-in-law the president, held a grudge against him over the elder Kushner's prosecution.

Charles Kushner walks to the U.S. District Courthouse with his wife on August 18, 2004 in Newark, New Jersey."Mr. Kushner pled guilty. He admitted the crimes," Christie told PBS.

In announcing the pardon for Charles Kushner, the White House pointed to his"record of reform and charity." The White House said this"overshadows Mr. Kushner's conviction and 2 year sentence for preparing false tax returns, witness retaliation, and making false statements."
