Corzine Croney Reports to Jail

Sphere: Related Content

Charles Kushner--a major money man for NJ Democrats--reported to jail in Alabama today:

NEWARK, N.J. -- Real estate magnate Charles B. Kushner is in a federal prison in Alabama after reporting early to begin serving a two-year term for retaliating against a witness -- his sister -- by having her husband seduced by a prostitute.

The scheme mischaracterized $10 million worth of charitable and political contributions, other items and gift and entertainment charges as business expenses from 1997 to 2002, creating millions of dollars worth of deductible expenses for the partnerships and partners, the indictment said. Partnerships can deduct office expenses from profits, but not charity and other items.

The NJ Republicans are using Corzine's relationship with Kushner as a hammer on radio and TV.
