CNN —Donald Trump has selected billionaire Massad Boulos to serve as his senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs — the second time in as many days the president-elect has chosen a family member for a key post.
On Saturday, Trump named real estate developer Charles Kushner to serve as the next US ambassador to France.
Trump has long turned to his family members to serve in political roles, raising questions about conflicts of interest and nepotism.
Donald Trump’s sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump ran the family real estate business during his first term but emerged as key surrogates on the 2024 campaign trail.
The appointments raise questions about influence and power — and profit — among Trump’s family members in the US government.
