So much for Trump's family only managing the Trump business

[devil21]

First Kushner was made an "advisor", now Ivanka is a "special assistant". Eric and the other one can't be far behind. Clearances coming too.

Ivanka Trump is now officially an employee of the U.S. government. The White House announced Wednesday that she will take no pay and serve as an assistant to the president. The role comes after NBC News confirmed earlier this week that the First Daughter would have an office in the West Wing.

When did Trump ever say his family would only be managing the business?

When did Trump ever say his family would only be managing the business?

To avoid potential conflicts of interest, Trump said he would put his kids in charge of it since they weren't actually part of the government. Now Ivanka is. I don't think it is really that big of a deal- JFK had his brother Robert working as Attorney General (yes, he was not running the family business though).

Trump’s kids to run businesses via ‘blind trust,’ Trump attorney says

Donald Trump’s vast business holdings will be placed into a blind trust with his oldest three children in charge, according to the president-elect’s attorney.

Michael Cohen, an attorney for Trump and the Trump Organization, also told CNN in an interview Thursday morning he is “100 percent” on board if Trump asks him to move to Washington to work for the new administration.


“I certainly hope so,” Cohen said of the prospects he’ll get a job offer.

Asked who would run the Trump Organization, a privately held company with international and U.S. dealings in everything from hotels to real estate, golf courses to investments, Cohen explained that Trump’s adult children Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric would take charge through a blind trust.

“They’re really intelligent. They’re really qualified. That’s why he really didn’t run in 2012, because they were younger by four years,” Cohen said. “And they didn’t have, I guess, the experience, maturity that he felt he wanted to leave a $10 billion company to. Now he does. He’s very comfortable with them at the helm and the people that will surround them.”

Trump during his campaign faced questions about how he’d handle his business dealings and potential conflicts if he were to become president, saying repeatedly he’d separate himself from the company. And while his lawyer Thursday used the term “blind trust” when discussing the family’s upcoming financial arrangement, putting Trump’s children in charge of a set of assets that their father is aware of does not constitute a blind trust. Under the legal definition of a blind trust, a public official places his finances under the management of an independent party. The official would have no knowledge of what is in the trust or how it is managed. On CNN, Cohen conceded Trump would have a difficult time satisfying critics who continue to raise doubts about their plans.

That and I think she's being positioned to run for an office in the near future. Hoping it's mayor of NYC for starters. Against Hillary :-).
