    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. Kushner has donated significant amounts to Trump’s campaigns. Previously, he was a major Democratic party donor.
