Trump hires another daughter's father-in-law in latest administration pick
A Lebanon-born billionaire who is the father-in-law of Donald Trump’s daughter became his latest hire Sunday.
Massad Boulos was named as the president-elect’s Senior Advisor to the President on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.
He’s the father of Michael Boulos, who married Trump’s youngest daughter Tiffany in 2022.
The announcement came a day after Trump made the father-in-law of his other daughter, Ivanka Trump, ambassador to France. Jared Kushner's father, real estate developer Charles Kushner, was announced as being the pick for the role Saturday.
“Massad is an accomplished lawyer and a highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the International scene,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“He has been a longtime proponent of Republican and Conservative values, an asset to my Campaign, and was instrumental in building tremendous new coalitions with the Arab American Community. Massad is a dealmaker, and an unwavering supporter of PEACE in the Middle East. He will be a strong advocate for the United States, and its interests, and I am pleased to have him on our team!”
Boulos, who moved to Texas as a teenager, unsuccessfully ran for a parliamentary seat in Lebanon in 2009. He was central to the Trump campaign’s efforts to win over Arab American voters.
