Donald Trump has real estate and leisure holdings all over the world, sparking concerns that his investments could colour his decision-making in office. President-elect Donald Trump on Friday chose Washington insider Donald McGahn to be his White House counsel, giving him the job of untangling potential conflicts of interest that the New York businessman's presidency may present. "Don has a brilliant legal mind, excellent character and a deep understanding of constitutional law," Trump said in a statement. Trump also has expressed interest in finding a way to bypass a federal anti-nepotism law in order to give his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a formal White House role. When Trump met with President Barack Obama earlier this month, Obama advised Trump during their Oval Office chat that his White House counsel would be an important job.
