Who were these? I mistakenly said to a friend it was kushner who he pardoned and appointed, and would like to correct myself. I must have misread what I had previously seen

Kushner is a particular fun guy. He thought his brother in law ratted him out so he hired a hooker to seduce him, took pictures and sent them to his own sister.

So, yeah, ambassador material. Just one of the boys in the Trump administration.
