Trump Expected To Name Jared Kushner as a Senior Adviser washingtonpost.com

Brotman's successor was a volunteer for the Trump campaign. Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is expected to be named as a senior adviser to the president and to assume an official role in the West Wing in coming weeks, according to two senior Trump transition officials.

Kushner, one of the most influential voices in Trump's inner circle, is credited with helping steer the presidential campaign to victory and has been expected to continue in a close advisory role to Trump after he takes office Jan. 20. When Trump made his first visit to the White House after the election, Kushner was among the few advisers to accompany him and had a private meeting with White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough.
