Charles Kushner, the wealthy New Jersey developer who served nearly two years in prison more than a decade ago in a tax fraud case that grew into a bizarre tale involving sex tapes and a prostitute, was granted a full pardon late Wednesday by President Donald Trump.
Kushner is the father of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared, who is married to Ivanka Trump and is a senior adviser to the president.
In a clemency statement released by the White House at about 7:20 pm, the president granted full pardons to 26 individuals, and commuted part or all of the sentences of an additional three people. In regard to Kushner, Trump said that Brett Tolman, the former U.S. Attorney for Utah, and Matt Schlapp and David Safavian of the American Conservative Union, supported a pardon of Kushner.

Consider this a starting point to understand the area, rather than an exhaustive guide to costing.

(CNN) As a Delta Air Lines plane taxied to the runway at LaGuardia Airport on Monday, a flight attendant saw a man and woman walking through the aisle. I need to get off the plane. I don t want to sit here. I m gonna pop the door, the flight attendant paraphrased him as saying.
The man felt he needed to leave or he would lose control, according to statements from a Tuesday arraignment hearing. He then pushed past the crew member, opened a cabin door and slid down the emergency slide with another passenger and their dog.
The man, identified as 31-year-old Antonio Murdock, and the other passenger, 23-year-old Brianna Greco, then walked away from the plane onto the taxiway. They were later found in a restricted area, authorities said.
