US President-elect, Donald Trump's Son-In-Law Named Senior Advisor

President-elect Donald Trump has named his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, as one of his senior White House advisers. 

The 35-year-old played a key role in the presidential campaign and his new White House job will cover both domestic and foreign policy.

Mr. Kushner, who is married to Trumps daughter Ivanka, is a property developer with a wide range of business interests.

Democrats immediately called for a review of the appointment, citing nepotism laws and potential conflicts of interest.
  
Earlier, Mr. Trump hailed his son-in-law as a "tremendous asset" and added that he was proud to give him a "key leadership role" in the administration.

Members of Mr. Trump's team have argued that a law barring officials from giving government jobs to relatives does not apply to White House positions.

Mr. Kushner's lawyer says he would step down as boss of his family's real estate business if he takes a White House job, and extricate himself from some of his assets.
