The Justice Department said President Donald Trump isn’t prohibited by a federal anti-nepotism statute from appointing his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to a job as a senior White House adviser.
Daniel L. Koffsky, a deputy assistant attorney general in the Office of Legal Counsel, wrote in a memorandum that the White House is exempted from a 1967 law that prevents public officials from appointing relatives to federal agencies they can control, and therefore the law “would not prohibit the contemplated appointment.”
