U.S. Envoy Kushner Requested Jail Meeting with Sarkozy

U.S. Envoy Kushner Requested Jail Meeting with Sarkozy

Charles Kushner, the U.S. ambassador to France, asked to visit former French President Nicolas Sarkozy in jail.

Sarkozy was in jail for a short time because of a court case, but he was released while he appeals the decision.

The meeting never happened, but Kushner and Sarkozy did meet outside of jail.

Kushner's son, Jared, is married to Ivanka Trump, the daughter of the U.S. President.

Sarkozy says he will write about this in his upcoming book.

Some U.S. officials think French courts are unfair to conservative politicians.

Sarkozy also said the court's decision to jail him was not fair.
