In early 2017, President-elect Donald Trump
announced plans to appoint his son-in-law,

Jared Kushner, as a Senior White House Advisor.

Kushner is married to Trump’s daughter Ivanka
and was a key player both in the campaign

and the cabinet appointment process.

As inauguration day nears, a spotlight has
been shined, not just on Kushner, but on all

of Trump’s close relatives.

So, let's meet America’s newest first family.

Donald Trump has been married three times
and has five children.

His three eldest children, Donald Jr, Eric,
and Ivanka are from his first marriage to

Czech fashion model Ivana Trump. All three
have held high ranking positions in the Trump

Organization, and Donald Trump’s
sons are slated to take over its operations

while he’s in office.

Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka have also appeared
on many episodes of their father’s

reality show, The Apprentice.

The oldest son, Donald Jr., also called “Don”
is married to a former model

and has five children of his own.

He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania
with a degree in Economics,

and played anactive role in his father’s
2016 presidential campaign.

However, as a surrogate, he attracted widespread
criticism for a Tweet comparing Syrian refugees

to skittles, even garnering
condemnation of the statement

from the parent company of Skittles itself

Trump’s second son, Eric, graduated
from Georgetown University

with degrees in finance and management.

For the last decade, Eric has also run his own
charitable foundation, raising money for

St. Jude Childrens hospital, although some
of these funds have allegedly been paid to

the Trump Organization itself.

Eric has left his post as president of the
charity to avoid possible conflicts of interest.

But perhaps the best known of Trump’s children
is his first daughter Ivanka.

Ivanka is a former model and active businesswoman,
with her own fashion and jewelry lines.

She identifies as “neither Republican nor
Democrat”, and is reportedly a close friend

of Hillary Clinton’s daughter Chelsea.

Ivanka has advocated for left-wing causes
like women’s rights and gay rights,

and was pivotal in her father's’ campaign
and transition into the White House.

Even before the start of Donald Trump’s
term, Ivanka was part of a meeting

with Japan’s Prime Minister, and reportedly
taken over a phone call with House Minority

Leader Nancy Pelosi to discuss women’s issues.

Many say she is poised to have a greater role
in the White House than previous First Daughters,

and perhaps even the First Lady.

Donald Trump’s current wife is former Slovenian
model Melania Trump, and is the second First

Lady in U.S. history to have been born
outside the United States.

She immigrated to the US in 1996,
and became a citizen ten years later.

She doesn’t have a college degree
but reportedly speaks five languages.

As First Lady, Melania has said she will focus
on helping women and children,

as well as combating cyberbullying.

Trump’s two youngest children have
received the least amount of attention.

23-year-old Tiffany Trump has been referred
to as a “mystery daughter”, and is the

daughter of Trump’s second wife, Marla Maples,
who he married after a highly publicized affair

during his first marriage.

She is a recent graduate of the University
of Pennsylvania, where she majored in sociology

and urban studies.

She is both a singer and a model, and is known
for a popular Instagram account

where she appears with other heirs and heiresses,
dubbed the “rich kids of instagram”.

Donald and Melania’s son, 10-year-old Barron,
sometimes called “Little Donald”, attends

a prestigious school in New York City where
he will live with his mother until the end

his current school term.Donald Trump
also has eight grandchildren.

Although some members of Trump’s family
fill the ranks in his transition team and

other key advisory positions, federal anti-nepotism
laws forbid government officials from appointing

family members to public office.

However, experts say Trump could work around
this law because of a legal precedent set

by, ironically, Bill Clinton, when he appointed
of his wife Hillary to a government task force.

What role his family holds in the new
administration still remains to be seen.

From hotels, to casinos to golf courses,
the Trump name is plastered

everywhere around the world.

Now that Donald Trump is in office his children
will take over the family business,

but is that enough to ensure that
there are no conflicts of interest?

Prior to the election we took
a look at the business problems

Trump may face while in office.

The problem with blind trust is that it's
really hard to make sure they're blind

and there's a big complication
when it comes to Trump: his name.

Since his largest source of income is his
brand name, it would be impossible for

Trump not to notice which buildings and
businesses license his name after

transferring ownership
of it to a blind trust.
