Nepotism?

He probably doesn't trust anyone outside "the family".
President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, is visiting Iraq with the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff.

Details about the trip to the Middle East with General Joseph Dunford were not released. An unnamed senior administration official said Kushner wanted to see the situation in Iraq for himself and show support for the Iraqi government.

The White House confirmed last week that [...] Kushner would likely be under oath and would submit to a “private interview” about arranging meetings with the Russian ambassador and other officials.

He was expected to have a major role in meetings later this week between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping at Trump’s winter retreat in Palm Beach, Florida.

Kushner’s West Wing portfolio is robust. He has been deeply involved with presidential staffing, recently launched a task force meant to modernise government using lessons drawn from the private sector, and has played the role of shadow diplomat, advising on relations with the Middle East, Canada and Mexico.

And though Kushner had no previous diplomatic or government experience, Trump also tasked him with trying to broker a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.

“If you can’t produce peace in the Middle East, nobody can,” Trump told Kushner at a gala a few days before his inauguration.
