Kushner were present for the
president-elect’s meeting with
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo
Abe at Trump Tower.
Trump has insisted he will
build a wall between his White
House and his company by plac-
ing his holdings into a blind
trust, but with his children as its
trustees. Federal requirements
are that independent outsiders
run such trusts.
“We are in the process of vet-
ting various structures with the
goal of the immediate transfer of
management of The Trump Or-
ganization and its portfolio of
businesses to Donald Jr., Ivanka
and Eric Trump as well as a
team of highly skilled execu-
tives,” Trump spokeswoman
Hope Hicks said. She said the
structure “will comply with all
applicable rules and regula-
tions.”

Donald Trump Jr., right, and Eric Trump get on an escalator in
the lobby of Trump Tower on Nov. 14 in New York.
Trump’s company would be
the largest business portfolio to
belong to a modem sitting presi-
dent. Federal ethics rules would
allow Tmmp to run his business
interests from the White House,
or, perhaps more likely, influ-
ence decisions made by his chil-
dren.
Jr. has received criticism for
tweeting images likening Syrian
refugees to a poisoned bowl of
Skittles candy and a cartoon
character appropriated by white
supremacists.
But now they stand poised to
be the most influential presiden-
company later apologized.
The children — they were
not made available for inter-
views — are limited in what for-
mal role they could take in a
Trump administration.
Congress passed an anti-
nepotism law in 1967 that pro-
hibits the president from ap-
pointing a family member to
work in the office or agency they
oversee. The measure was
passed as a reaction to President
John F. Kennedy appointing his
brother Robert as attorney gen-
eral.
North Carolina. Ivanka Tmmp,
meanwhile, was utilized in some
of the campaign’s biggest mo-
ments, including introducing
her father before his convention
speech, unveiling his family
leave plan and campaigning
across the crucial Philadelphia
suburbs.
Another daughter, Tiffany
Tmmp, a recent college gradu-
ate whose mother is Tmmp’s
second wife, Marla Maples, also
made appearances on her fa-
ther’s behalf. Tmmp’s youngest
child, 10-year-old Barron, whose
mother is the president-elect’s
current wife, Melania, is en-
rolled at a private Manhattan
school. Trump on Sunday told
reporters that Mrs. Trump and
their son will move to Washing-
ton after the school year ends.
For the three eldest Tmmp
kids, there were bumps in the
road.
tial children in decades, as re- the children’s main focus “was
cent White House offspring the company,” but “we’d always
have been far younger than the be one phone call away” if need-
eldest Tmmp children, who are ed, the younger Tmmp told The
all in their 30s. During the cam- Associated Press in May. “We’d
paign, Eric Tmmp insisted that do anything for the man.”
That raises conflict of interest
concerns. For example, Trump
could set domestic policy while
making deals abroad that could
affect his corporation, even if it
were technically in his children’s
hands.
Kellyanne Conway, a senior
adviser, disputed the idea that
the Trump children’s involve-
ment in the transition could lead
to a breach of trust.
“You’re presuming that they
are doing certain things that
they should not be doing,” Con-
way said. “They are his children.
And they’ve been his business
colleagues for a long period of
time. They obviously will sup-
port their father as president.”
But the potentially problem-
atic entanglement revealed itself
this past week when Ivanka
Tmmp’s company promoted a
$10,800 bracelet she wore dur-
ing a 60 Minutes interview on
CBS. The spokeswoman for the

But the law does not appear
to prevent the children
Kushner, who is one of Tmmp’s
closest aides and is said to be
weighing a White House role —
from serving as unpaid advisers
or providing informal counsel.
The three grown children —
their mother is Ivana Tmmp,
Trump’s first wife — delivered
well-received speeches at this
summer’s Republican National
Convention in which they tried
to humanize their father.

road, trekking to campaign of-
