The Manhattan district attorney’s office charged former Trump ally Ken Kurson with cybercrimes, making him at least the third person pardoned by former President Donald Trump to face scrutiny from New York state prosecutors, reports the Wall Street Journal. Prosecutors charged Kurson in New York state court with eavesdropping and computer trespass, both types of cybercrimes. They accused him of unlawfully accessing communications of his then-wife while at the offices of the New York Observer, which were located in Midtown Manhattan.
Kurson used spyware to monitor his wife’s keystrokes, obtained her passwords and accessed her Facebook and Gmail accounts. Kurson, a former editor in chief of the New York Observer, the newspaper that was published by Jared Kushner, and a former advisor to both Trump and Rudy Giuliani, faces a minimum of no jail time and a maximum of four years in prison.
