Trump Names In-Laws Charles Kushner and Massad Boulos to High-Level Gov't Roles
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other transition news, Trump has picked the real estate developer
Charles Kushner to be U.S. ambassador to France. Kushner is the father
of Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, who is married to Trump's daughter
Ivanka. In 2020, Trump pardoned Charles Kushner, who spent 14 months in
federal prison after pleading guilty to tax evasion and witness
tampering in the 2000s.

Trump has also picked the Lebanese-born billionaire Massad Boulos to
serve as his new adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. Boulos is
the father-in-law of Trump's other daughter Tiffany.
