President-elect Donald Trump intends to name his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, as a senior adviser to his White House - a move that would put to the test a 1967 anti-nepotism law and provide a Trump White House already rife with ethical questions a bona fide legal showdown.
In fact, this amounts to Trump's "first attempt to ignore the law," according to Washington University government ethics expert Kathleen Clark. And she says it has huge implications not just for Kushner, but for the rest of his presidency.

“Kushner has retained JAMIE GORELICK as his lawyer to navigate through the Federal legal and ethical issues. “
Seriously? That’s a HUGE problem for me.
UGGHHH!
Say it ain't so.
How about HillaryCare done by the wife of the then president?
To me, this is one of the biggest warning flags I've seen in politics in years.
“...a Trump White House already rife with ethical questions...”

BS. Fake News from that Jeff Bozo rag called “The Washington Compost.”
Really? Where the hell were you for the past 8 years?
You can say that again!
Actually, it appears to be Washington University government ethics expert Kathleen Clark's first attempt to ignore the law during Donald Trump's presidency.
Perhaps Washington University government ethics expert Kathleen Clark needs a better prescription for her eyeglasses so that she can read the law properly, or perhaps she needs to do her homework better.
First Ladies sleep with presidents; there is no scandal in presidents listening to family members. The scandal is when the family members have line authority in the WH.If Trump wants his son-in-law on staff, what of it? It is the president who acts.
Trump isnt even accepting the salary hes entitled to. Its not as if Trump were firing the Travel Office staff and arbitrarily prosecuting them in order to justify replacing them with relatives who would be in a position to monetize their position . . .
Bingo the media isn’t known for it’s IQ only for it’s spelling like Obama uses a lot of word but has no idea what they mean.
Time machine?
Yes. Hillary had her health care panel. Where was the WaPo then?

Same Jamie Gorelick that put up barriers between the various govt agencies so they couldn’t communicate about threats?
Moo employed the daughters as her assistants.

"Tsars" sounds a bit Russian, huh.
And Diane Feinstein...
Forging federal birth records...
Kushner already said he’s not taking a salary.
Ugh, thought we were done with her. She'd know how to get around the rules. FR has had questions about Kushner which is now proving rightfully so.
