Democrats have challenged Donald Trump’s appointment yesterday of his son-in-law Jared Kushner as a senior adviser.
Members of the House Judiciary Committee have queried whether the role creates a conflict of interests.
Mr Kushner, 36, a property-developer and media owner who is married to Mr Trump’s daughter Ivanka, played a critical part in his father-in-law’s election campaign.
The Democrats wrote to outgoing American Attorney-General Loretta Lynch to say Mr Kushner’s White House post “may allow him to influence policy that benefits his business interests”, according to ABC News.
