Talk about keeping things in the family.
Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is expected to be named senior adviser to the president.
The Associated Press said that Mr Kushner, who has been one of Mr Trump's top strategists, will continue in that role in the White House.
Mr Kushner, who is married to Mr Trump's daughter Ivanka, must clear a series of hurdles before he takes any post in Washington.
He will need to argue that a federal anti-nepotism law that bar officials from appointing relatives to government positions does not apply to him, the AP said. He will also need to eliminate potential conflicts of interest between his family's multi-billion dollar real estate empire and his government duties.
Mr Kushner, 35, emerged as an important voice early in Trump's campaign and was involved in almost every aspect of it, from key personnel decisions to strategy and fundraising.
Reuters said that Mr Kushner spearheads his family's real estate development company, Kushner Companies, and is the publisher of the New York Observer weekly newspaper, which he acquired at age 25.
