As Donald Trump prepares to disentangle himself from his sprawling business interests he'll have at least two key allies by his side in Washington: Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. The couple has secured a property... Trump's team is confident that, at a minimum, his daughter and son-in-law can act as informal advisers once he's in the WH. -snip-
Ivanka Trump has made clear that if she's advising her father in Washington, she will step back from her personal business... It's not clear how Jared Kushner will navigate his own real estate business....Trump is expected to shed some light on the new management structure for his private business -- and the roles of his children -- at a news conference on January 11, Trump tweeted Tuesday. I will be having a general news conference on JANUARY ELEVENTH in N.Y.C. Thank you.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 3, 2017 The President-elect has vowed via Twitter that his company won't execute any new deals while he's in office -- a step to guard against conflict of interest concerns. But sources said it's unlikely that Trump will go even further and fully divest from his company.
One option ... bringing in an outside trustee to help guard against conflicts of interest,... For Trump, the commitment to his enterprise goes beyond financial ties and includes a sentimental component as well. "President-elect Trump has always stated how much he loves what he does.
Anyone who spends more than four decades building a 10 billion dollar empire would clearly be sentimental about relinquishing control," said Michael Cohen, an executive vice president for the Trump Organization.
"However, President-elect Trump has also stated that there is nothing more important to him than fixing the mistakes made by the previous administration and Making America Great Again!"

Given the state the world is in, I suspect that God will make Himself undeniably obvious to all, very soon. I believe that before Jesus comes again, people, including many self-described Christians, will HAVE to decide on His Lordship over their lives or not. Merely believing that Jesus is who He says He is, doesn’t save oneself, because even the Deceiver and his minions believe in Jesus as the Son of God, though they will not worship Him or bow to His Lordship.
$5.5 million. Flaunt if it you’ve got it. Hope they were compensated in the price what with the neighbors and all.
Call me cynical, but whenever I read something like this I often wonder if it is fabricated ex-post-facto information.
Agreed. Ready or not, here it comes. Get right or get left.
And the rise of Jared and the fall of Christie out of Trump’s inner circle.
From what I’ve read, Ivanka and Jared are much closer to democrat thinking in a number of social policy areas. She has pretty much stated as much. I don’t think Donald will be overly swayed by their opinions. He trusts their perspective and political/organizational instincts, but is strongly his own man politically.
Jared & Ivanka are only 35 years old, they both have impeccable reputations. I see no reason to bad mouth either as untrustworthy to PeOTUS or his agenda. They are not relocating to destroy Trump’s plans or promises. Thus far, they both have proven to be great assets, we have to assume they will positive contributors. Besides, these decisions have already been made.
I’m not sure that I understand the animosity towards them. Unless someone is palling around in their peer group, how would there be a way to judge them if you have never met them.
There is a very strong chance that without Jared’s strategic software targeting market analysis plans there would have been no wins in the rust belt states. Those ads were also hitting precise viewership in the FL panhandle and other very specific markets in NC and OH. Much of the rapid turn around can be attributed to Jared Kushner’s foresight and connections late in October. He convinced DJT to spend 25 million and run with a novel program and it worked.
I’m not going to race to judgement and condemn them when they have demonstrated only positive contributions to DJT and his life. I hope than you can reconsider and try and see the benefit of having them in DC.

Why should he? Does EVERY SINGLE PERSON who advises the President have to stop working at their occupation?
The Left’s absurdity needs to stop, one way or the other.
Ivanka and Jared are not America's new first family.
Sorry to disappoint all the Ivanka worshippers... but the new first family is the President, his wife, Melania, and their son, Barron.
Mr. and Mrs. Jared Kushner appear to be cling-ons.
I would say the same thing about Chelsea Clinton and that husband of hers if Hillary Clinton had won.
Do you honestly think they have relocated to become DC politico celebrities?
They’re sacrificing and upsetting their lives to help the Trump administration.

Cheap Shot again and completely unjustified to blame him for his father’s actions.
Try again, what unsavory thing has Jared done?
He was not around much to help DJT beat Cruz, so you can’t blame JK for the primary stuff.
Granted, I knew nothing about them until Trump got elected.
But since then, I’ve learned that Ivanka became Jewish after she married Kushner.
Doesn’t that involve denying Jesus?
Last week, I learned that Kushner sat idly by while some queer yelled at his wife and kids.
Sorry, but so far I’m not inclined to stand up and cheer.
Does simply being associated with Trump magically make them wonderful?

Uh -- what?
A secret agenda to do just what? Annex Mexico? Convert the country to Judaism? Is that it?
This is getting ridiculous.
concern trolls and likely a covey of recycled cruzlim
Stop this nonsense. They're all devout Christians who are just biding their time until the world comes to an end and Jesus Christ returns next week ... or something like that.
/sarcasm off/
Um..... Do we all know EXACTLY what personal financial interests VALERIE JARRETT HOLDS????????
Let’s go over her sh** before we delve into Jared’s, shall we????????????
Right! .. the Kushner’s secret hebraic agenda is to convert ALL of the USA to Judaism, beginning with NYC. Then move to those ‘working class’ rust belt states and beyond.
How do even come up with stuff like this? “He has nothing in common with the working-class voters who propelled Trump to victory in places like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.” I bet that you have never met Jared, not once.
Jared & Ivanka are worth $350 million, they both work and raise a family. They seem to have commonality to lots of people from all walks of life. (The money envy really needs to stop.) And you are just shaking in your chair because JK’s true agenda is to empty all the bank accounts from the rust belt into his own bank, right, Ah-huh!
Mr. Trump would do well to ignore ridiculous comments from overly concerned -envy trolls who are inventing a ‘secret evil agenda’ to attribute to his own daughter and son-in-law. And it’s an insult to PeOTUS since you see him as an easily influenced sucker.
But, since you claim to have all the inside nasty NYC dirt on the evil Kushners, how about you forward it to @realDonaldTrump.com
