Jared Kushner pal pardoned by Trump now facing new charges

Salon  

A friend and former associate of Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law, was charged with cybercrimes on Wednesday by Manhattan's district attorney for cyberstalking his ex-wife. Kurson, 52, a former editor of the New York Observer and a one-time speechwriter for Trump, stands accused of illegally accessing his ex-wife's communications in 2015 and 2016 during his time as the editor-in-chief of Observer Media Group. Kurson allegedly used spyware that tracked his ex-wife's keystrokes, allowing the Kushner confidante to glean his wife's passwords for her email and social media accounts, according to a criminal complaint. "As alleged in the complaint, Mr. Kurson launched a campaign of cybercrime, manipulation, and abuse from his perch at the New York Observer, and now the people of New York will hold him accountable." The latest complaint establishes that Kurson's improprieties do not amount to a one-time affair, but rather a pattern of "installing software on one individual's computer to monitor that individual's keystrokes and website usage without his/her knowledge or authorization."
