On Thursday, a top adviser said that Ivanka and Kushner would be the most likely family members to have official staff roles.
Kellyanne Conway told MSNBC Thursday that any of the president-elect’s adult children who work in the administration would separate from their father’s business empire and leave “no ambiguity” that could expose the family to conflicts of interest.
She added that Ivanka, her husband, and any Trump siblings who choose to work in the White House would make big financial “sacrifices” to do so.
Trump’s transition aides say lawyers are working to untangle Trump and his family from their business empire after criticism that failing to do anything short of creating a blind trust would expose them to conflict of interest investigations and lawsuits.
Trump plans a news conference on the issue Thursday.
