Trump’s Senior Adviser-in-Law
Updated on January 9 at 5:27 p.m.
Jared Kushner is a man who has been in the right place—or more precisely, the right families—at the right time, and been willing and able to bend the rules to move forward.
In the latest instance of that pattern, President-elect Donald Trump will reportedly name Kushner a senior White House adviser, and report, placing his son-in-law in a top post but setting up a potential showdown over the reach of federal nepotism laws. That would end weeks of speculation that Kushner would receive a top job at the White House, and it would represent a continuation of his role on the Trump presidential campaign, where Kushner gradually grew in influence, ultimately becoming one of his father-in-law’s closest aides. Ivanka Trump, Kushner’s.
