And that is where the doubt is. The legality of apponting his son in law as advsior is in question. The illegality of just handing over his business not to neutral third parties, but members of his family and then tell the public: "I trust my sons. We will not talk about the businesses. They will not influence my presidency", is beyond doubt. It is illegal by you own laws, American law experts described on German TV already. There were according scandals in the poast that led to thge fcorming of said laws, the names to be mentioned are Kennedy, and I think Nixon.

And by all sane reason - it should be illegal indeed! Its pure nepotism, plain and simple.
