Arrest of Charles Kushner pains the many NJ Jewish groups he supports
The arrest of a Jewish real estate developer and philanthropist has sent waves of shock and dismay through New Jersey’s Jewish community.


Kushner, 50, CEO of Kushner Companies of Florham Park, was charged on July 13 by a U.S. attorney, Christopher Christie, with conspiracy, obstructing a federal investigation into his finances and political contributions, and interstate promotion of prostitution. The complaint alleges that he arranged for intermediaries to hire a “call girl” to lure witnesses in the investigation to a hotel. One witness rejected a call girl’s advances; the other did not and Kushner is charged with arranging for a secretly made videotape of the encounter to be sent to the witness’s wife. Kushner’s lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, denied the charges.

I remember it well; happened back in 2014. Both Kushner and Christie were from the town next door to me.

You see a lot of signs identifying the property as "Kushner" around here. Appropriately, the community was appalled and embarrassed.
