0:00:00.011,0:00:04.017
In early 2017, President-elect Donald Trump[br]announced plans to appoint his son-in-law,

0:00:04.017,0:00:06.871
Jared Kushner, as a Senior White House Advisor.

0:00:06.871,0:00:10.859
Kushner is married to Trump’s daughter Ivanka[br]and was a key player both in the campaign

0:00:10.859,0:00:12.645
and the cabinet appointment process.

0:00:12.645,0:00:16.812
As inauguration day nears, a spotlight has[br]been shined, not just on Kushner, but on all

0:00:16.812,0:00:18.467
of Trump’s close relatives.

0:00:18.467,0:00:20.991
So, let's meet America’s newest first family.

0:00:21.056,0:00:24.082
Donald Trump has been married three times[br]and has five children.

0:00:24.082,0:00:28.058
His three eldest children, Donald Jr, Eric,[br]and Ivanka are from his first marriage to

0:00:28.058,0:00:32.469
Czech fashion model Ivana Trump. All three[br]have held high ranking positions in the Trump

0:00:32.469,0:00:35.805
Organization, and Donald Trump’s [br]sons are slated to take over its operations

0:00:35.805,0:00:37.535
while he’s in office.

0:00:37.535,0:00:41.016
Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka have also appeared[br]on many episodes of their father’s

0:00:41.016,0:00:43.073
reality show, The Apprentice.

0:00:43.073,0:00:47.053
The oldest son, Donald Jr., also called “Don”[br]is married to a former model

0:00:47.053,0:00:48.883
and has five children of his own.

0:00:48.883,0:00:52.614
He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania[br]with a degree in Economics,

0:00:52.614,0:00:56.433
and played anactive role in his father’s [br]2016 presidential campaign.

0:00:56.433,0:01:01.452
However, as a surrogate, he attracted widespread[br]criticism for a Tweet comparing Syrian refugees

0:01:01.452,0:01:04.049
to skittles, even garnering [br]condemnation of the statement

0:01:04.049,0:01:06.299
from the parent company of Skittles itself

0:01:06.299,0:01:09.935
Trump’s second son, Eric, graduated [br]from Georgetown University

0:01:09.935,0:01:11.755
with degrees in finance and management.

0:01:11.755,0:01:16.049
For the last decade, Eric has also run his own[br]charitable foundation, raising money for

0:01:16.049,0:01:19.680
St. Jude Childrens hospital, although some[br]of these funds have allegedly been paid to

0:01:19.680,0:01:21.877
the Trump Organization itself.

0:01:21.877,0:01:26.176
Eric has left his post as president of the[br]charity to avoid possible conflicts of interest.

0:01:26.176,0:01:30.007
But perhaps the best known of Trump’s children[br]is his first daughter Ivanka.

0:01:30.007,0:01:34.197
Ivanka is a former model and active businesswoman,[br]with her own fashion and jewelry lines.

0:01:34.197,0:01:38.143
She identifies as “neither Republican nor[br]Democrat”, and is reportedly a close friend

0:01:38.143,0:01:40.176
of Hillary Clinton’s daughter Chelsea.

0:01:40.176,0:01:43.992
Ivanka has advocated for left-wing causes[br]like women’s rights and gay rights,

0:01:44.022,0:01:47.579
and was pivotal in her father's’ campaign[br]and transition into the White House.

0:01:47.579,0:01:51.038
Even before the start of Donald Trump’s[br]term, Ivanka was part of a meeting

0:01:51.119,0:01:55.705
with Japan’s Prime Minister, and reportedly[br]taken over a phone call with House Minority

0:01:55.705,0:01:58.092
Leader Nancy Pelosi to discuss women’s issues.

0:01:58.092,0:02:02.311
Many say she is poised to have a greater role[br]in the White House than previous First Daughters,

0:02:02.311,0:02:04.290
and perhaps even the First Lady.

0:02:04.290,0:02:09.052
Donald Trump’s current wife is former Slovenian[br]model Melania Trump, and is the second First

0:02:09.052,0:02:12.279
Lady in U.S. history to have been born[br]outside the United States.

0:02:12.279,0:02:16.010
She immigrated to the US in 1996, [br]and became a citizen ten years later.

0:02:17.000,0:02:20.008
She doesn’t have a college degree[br]but reportedly speaks five languages.

0:02:20.008,0:02:24.062
As First Lady, Melania has said she will focus[br]on helping women and children,

0:02:25.034,0:02:26.034
as well as combating cyberbullying.

0:02:26.034,0:02:29.127
Trump’s two youngest children have[br]received the least amount of attention.

0:02:30.027,0:02:32.115
23-year-old Tiffany Trump has been referred[br]to as a “mystery daughter”, and is the

0:02:33.015,0:02:37.058
daughter of Trump’s second wife, Marla Maples,[br]who he married after a highly publicized affair

0:02:37.058,0:02:38.136
during his first marriage.

0:02:39.036,0:02:43.037
She is a recent graduate of the University[br]of Pennsylvania, where she majored in sociology

0:02:43.037,0:02:44.068
and urban studies.

0:02:44.068,0:02:47.151
She is both a singer and a model, and is known[br]for a popular Instagram account

0:02:48.051,0:02:51.130
where she appears with other heirs and heiresses,[br]dubbed the “rich kids of instagram”.

0:02:52.003,0:02:56.048
Donald and Melania’s son, 10-year-old Barron,[br]sometimes called “Little Donald”, attends

0:02:56.075,0:02:59.144
a prestigious school in New York City where[br]he will live with his mother until the end

0:03:00.044,0:03:04.071
his current school term.Donald Trump[br]also has eight grandchildren.

0:03:04.071,0:03:06.078
Although some members of Trump’s family[br]fill the ranks in his transition team and

0:03:07.041,0:03:11.130
other key advisory positions, federal anti-nepotism[br]laws forbid government officials from appointing

0:03:12.003,0:03:13.070
family members to public office.

0:03:13.097,0:03:17.113
However, experts say Trump could work around[br]this law because of a legal precedent set

0:03:18.013,0:03:23.014
by, ironically, Bill Clinton, when he appointed[br]of his wife Hillary to a government task force.

0:03:23.023,0:03:27.112
What role his family holds in the new [br]administration still remains to be seen.

0:03:27.319,0:03:31.180
From hotels, to casinos to golf courses, [br]the Trump name is plastered

0:03:31.018,0:03:32.018
everywhere around the world.

0:03:32.018,0:03:35.100
Now that Donald Trump is in office his children[br]will take over the family business,

0:03:36.000,0:03:38.239
but is that enough to ensure that [br]there are no conflicts of interest?

0:03:38.239,0:03:41.890
Prior to the election we took[br]a look at the business problems

0:03:41.089,0:03:42.089
Trump may face while in office.

0:03:42.089,0:03:45.104
The problem with blind trust is that it's[br]really hard to make sure they're blind

0:03:46.004,0:03:48.813
and there's a big complication[br]when it comes to Trump: his name.

0:03:48.849,0:03:52.885
Since his largest source of income is his[br]brand name, it would be impossible for

0:03:53.209,0:03:57.140
Trump not to notice which buildings and [br]businesses license his name after

0:03:57.014,0:03:58.018
transferring ownership [br]of it to a blind trust.
