Kushner\u2019s lawyer, Jamie Gorelick, a partner at WilmerHale, said in a statement to CBS News that Kushner and his legal team are working out his compliance with ethics laws.
\u201cMr. Kushner is committed to complying with federal ethics laws and we have been consulting with the Office of Government Ethics regarding the steps he would take,\u201d Gorelick, a former Clinton administration Justice Department lawyer, wrote.
Kushner plans to \u201cresign from his position at Kushner Companies and divest substantial assets in accordance with federal guidelines,\u201d Gorelick wrote. Kushner has been CEO of Kushner Companies since 2008.
Mr. Trump\u2019s son-in-law would also recuse himself from matters that would have \u201ca direct and predictable effect on his remaining financial interests.\u201d
Axios\u2019 Mike Allen first reported on Kushner\u2019s West Wing job and said that he\u2019s already seeking applicants for his staff.
Kushner, who will be 36 years old Tuesday and is married to Ivanka Trump, has emerged as one of his closest advisers and confidants both during the campaign and the transition period. Since Mr. Trump\u2019s election, Kushner has participated with high-level meetings with the president-elect and other business and world leaders, and he accompanied Mr. Trump to the White House to meet with President Obama after the election. He also worked with tech investor Peter Thiel to set up Mr. Trump\u2019s meeting with tech leaders in December.
The president-elect was asked by reporters Monday about his son-in-law\u2019s role in his administration, but he declined to answer, saying only, \u201cWe\u2019ll talk about that on Wednesday,\u201d which is when he is scheduled to hold his first news conference as president-elect.<\/p>\n
