Trump's handing out sweet gigs to his family members again
Donald Trump announced over the holiday weekend that he wants to add yet more unqualified rich people to serve in his administration, but this time with a fun and added twist: They're both members of his family.
On Saturday, Trump nominated Charles Kushner—a felon, real estate slumlord, and the father of Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner—to serve as ambassador to France.
And on Sunday, Trump announced he’d picked Massad Boulos—the billionaire father-in-law to his least-favorite child Tiffany Trump—to serve as a senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.
Selecting family members to serve in his administration would amount to a violation of anti-nepotism laws that other federal employees must operate under—not that Trump cares about that sort of thing.
