Jared Corey Kushner, born January 10, 1981, in Livingston, New Jersey, is an American businessman, investor, and former senior advisor to President Donald Trump. He is the son of real estate developer Charles Kushner and took over Kushner Companies after his father's legal troubles. Kushner built a notable career in real estate, including the 2007 purchase of 666 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan for $1.8 billion, and acquiring the New York Observer newspaper in 2006, where he served as publisher. Kushner married Ivanka Trump in 2009, linking him to the Trump family. He played a significant role in Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, managing digital strategy and social media, and was instrumental in creating the campaign’s proprietary voter database. In January 2017, Kushner was appointed senior advisor to President Trump, leading initiatives such as criminal justice reform, notably helping pass the First Step Act in 2018, and spearheading efforts in the Middle East peace process, authoring the Trump peace plan and facilitating the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states in 2020. During his White House tenure, Kushner directed the Office of American Innovation, aiming to apply private-sector practices to government operations. His involvement in the 2016 campaign and subsequent contacts with Russian officials drew scrutiny during investigations into election interference, though he denied any wrongdoing. After leaving the White House in 2021, Kushner moved to Florida and began private equity ventures. In 2022, he published a memoir titled *Breaking History: A White House Memoir*. He and Ivanka Trump have since focused on their family and business interests, notably stepping back from active roles in Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. Kushner remains relevant as a figure blending political influence with business and diplomatic engagements, including recent involvement in Middle East-related initiatives[1][2][4][7].
