Trump picks Massad Boulos as senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs

Dec. 1 (UPI) -- President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Massad Boulos, the father-in-law to his daughter Tiffany, as his senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.

Boulos, born to a Christian family in Lebanon, unofficially aided Trump during the presidential election cycle to court Arab American voters and had even met in September with Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the Palestinian Authority, who had barred Palestinian officials from meeting with the Trump administration during his first term as president.
