Massad Boulos's Credentials Questioned After Appointment as Trump Advisor
The newly named Middle East advisor and Tiffany Trump's father-in-law faces scrutiny over his wealth, legal qualifications, and political history.
- Massad Boulos, recently appointed as a senior Middle East advisor in Donald Trump's administration, has been inaccurately described as a billionaire and a lawyer.
- Investigations reveal that Boulos's business ventures in Nigeria are modest, with his primary company valued at $865,000 and generating minimal profits.
- Boulos does not hold a law license in the U.S. or other countries, despite claims that he is an accomplished lawyer, with records showing he did not pass the Texas bar exam.
- He played a key role in helping Trump win Arab-American voters in battleground states like Michigan, leveraging dissatisfaction with the previous administration's handling of the Gaza conflict.
- Boulos's past political ties in Lebanon, including associations with pro-Syria/Hezbollah factions, raise questions about his influence on U.S. Middle East policy.
