    The president’s son in law – who acts as one of the country’s top diplomats despite holding no official role within the Trump administration

    I don’t get why this level of nepotism is accepted really, eventhough this is clearly a distraction envoy that doesn’t really aim at a solution

      It shouldn’t be allowed. I’m assuming he doesn’t hold an official position because those would typically have background checks and safety measures, as well as a legal obligation to not accept bribes. This way he can easily accept bribes and it isn’t an issue.

      Son-in-Law is just plausible deniabilty that he’s Trump’s handler with familial legal advantages.
