The résumé of Massad Boulos, Donald Trump’s recent pick as senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs, has reportedly been widely overstated in the media without apparent correction — until now.

Boulos, a Lebanese-American businessman and father-in-law to Trump’s daughter Tiffany, does not appear to be a billionaire, as he’s been previously described, The New York Times reported Thursday.Instead, he’s more accurately described as a “small-time truck salesman” in Nigeria, according to the paper.

Boulos is chief executive of SCOA Nigeria PLC, a company that sells trucks and heavy machinery in Nigeria, and is controlled by Boulos’s father-in-law.

The company made less than $66,000 in profit last year and is valued at $865,000, according to corporate records obtained by the Times. Boulos’s stake in the company, according to the records, is worth less than $2.

Trump has claimed Boulos is an “accomplished lawyer and a highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the international scene,” and media reports have described Boulos as getting a law degree from the University of Houston. The school told the Times it has no record of that.

Boulos Enterprises, a firm media reports have pointed to in connection with Boulos, actually belongs to a different family with the same last name, an officer there told the paper.

When asked earlier this year if reports that his company is a “multi-billion-dollar enterprise” were accurate, Boulos said he did not like to describe it that way. When pressed, he said his businesses were part of a “big company” that had a “long history” and could be described that way.

In an interview with the Times, Boulos said his father-in-law’s companies, including SCOA, are collectively worth more than $1 billion. He said that he didn’t immediately comment on media reports because “I’ve never really gone into any details like that about the value.”

The Independent has contacted the Trump transition team and SCOA Nigeria PLC for comment. It was unable to reach Boulos directly for comment.

Boulos, who helped the Trump campaign win over Arab-American voters during the election, isn’t the only member of the new administration who has faced questions about his background.

Trump attorney general pick Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration last month as the former congressman faced allegations he paid for sex and had sex with a minor, which he has always strongly denied.

The administration’s pick for secretary of defense, former Fox News anchor Pete Hegseth, has been accused of rape and alcohol abuse, which he denies.

The above is again all 100%  BS the Media came with - as a start the Hegseth case has been found to be BS and a conccoted lie of  woman who laid a chage in California.   An investigation showed the woman lied about the incident and the DA refused to prosecute Hegseth since the evidence indicate the story was concocted and never could be regarded as a rape - so the DA refused to prosecute  the "rape" charge .     This issue was all over the media for weeks  and the fact is that Hegseth's nomination is bound to be approved by to be Senate, 

As to Gaetz  the nominatin was replaced weeks ago since the FBI had a decde long campai gn against Gaet which they fucked up royallyand could not take to court.   However Gaetz ws not poplar amongst Rpublicans and te fact was he was replaced as nominee  - which even are more hated than Gaetz was because she is an experienced candidate who is feared by the crooks - since she is "competent".    

So to get the corrupt shit protected Biden will try and pardon them like he did his son.    He has to do it - especially since  it became clear that issues the FBI would not investigate implicate  Joe would also have to be prscuted for real invovement in corruption.    But the proven corruption also invovled Pelosi and Schiff to start with and basically the whole Defense Department - whose  audit revealed that the bureaucats  could not account on what $80 billion was spent on.    Amazing the nominees are still arrive with the Dmocratic MAFIA  being in full battlle gear.   They fear Hegseth and DOGE will clear up the BS in the DF.

In any event I think the media are in  spin and hate the idea that they are going down the drain as well as two papers - the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times have left the Mafia protection press and MSNBC and CNN as dartig towads bankruptsy,

So live on - the hated Trump is going to save the USA and democracy from destruction by criminals.

Thanks  Denny - when your comments is shitory it means I hit the jackpot 100%/    I do not  waste money to a newsapper who spins BS and is known ss a hold out in a state where the Blacks and Hispanics in huge  nunbers  have deserted from the  Democratic Party criminal  crooks in politics  that turned the ciy into a  haven for criminals,   

The Penny case was a typical example  of what happened to crime in cities like New York.   If a criminals  - even  murderers - are arrested by the Police they are set free without paying bail. within 24 hours,    When the  last Mayoral election took place  in 2021 New York the city was already in a state of crisis from a crime perspective,    In the  election a  highly respected gtleman ho used to be Head of the city polce,  Mr Adam, - a Black candidate - was nominated and got 80% of the votes in the  DP primary election and won the Mayoral election by geting 67% of the vots casted,    He soon clashed about law enforcement in te ciry with Bragg and Adams ad thn the inmevitable happen to the Mayor - they laid fake charges of bribert and corruption against him.    It caused  further problems when he asked for financial support by the US Government to help the City to cover the costs of catering for 250 000 illegal migrants into the city and crimes commied by migrants sparked out of control.

Now the New York Times re charging that the Mayor is "warming up" with Trump and may do what another Black Mayor - the Mayor of Dallas  clashed with the Soros DA in the city and got  undermined by he DA's concerned - resigned from the Democratic Party and joined the Repblican Party.    In any event the .New York Times is not supporting his re-election as Mayor and is already promoting an extreme ultra-leftist candidate.with links to te Commuist Party in the USA as Mayoral candidate,   Another Black House member recently elected attacked he DP of sponsoring promotion of criminal activity in New York also is on the rampage against DP craziness in the city - he ended up on th e New York Times shit list.

The  FBI tried to boost the DP election campaign by pblshing fake stats of muder and  ohe seious crimes are down - while the crimes commited by illegal migrants are spinning out of control because of gangster cartels who entered the country  together with th emilliond of illegals that entered  the country. and thousands end up in New York - where the New  York Times attacked people who suffer from increased criminality.   The  gangs t es are looting  bu sinesss in teh city and it s dang ers for peple to eave hei homes at night and are even attacked in their homes regularly.    In the Penny case  he defended he people theatened by a bloke that he would kill them  that day and  Penny grabbed he man and took him to the ground  helped by  another Black passenger..   Most of the sunway passengers were already in fear because murder on subway trains were regular and twere ot of control.   When Penny held the man down the passengers cheered him.  When the Police arrived Penny released the man and after asking  imas as to what  happened and released him.   However, the man thretning the passnges died shortly after that is where BLM kicked in and Bragg charged Penny  with Second Degree Murder and BLM thresned to oranize riots in the city.   The re w evidence that the "murdered" person had an arrest warrant for attacking other people and  the Jury - despite BLM threats rfusd to find penny of  second degree murder and en the etty  drama started.   

The Judge was in a problem since he wanted a giulty verdict and asked the  Jury to consider s chasrg of manslaughter,   That was illegal in terms of US law processs sincce hechrge could not be changed during a tril and g ain the Ju ry would not find the accused guilty  of the second charge suggeted by the Judge,   He then sufggested to the jury thatt they should find Penn y guilty of  homicide resulting from negligence by the accused and the jury had eno ug of intimidaion and found Penny innocent of  the latte crime and the judge had no option but to set Penny free,   The BLM tried o roanize riots in the city - but a thus far been uable to organize the riots because .the NDC ran out of funds caused by the Harris election committee who spent $1,5 billion over a 4 week period was wasted  mostly on fruitless expenditure leaving  the DNC with  a debt of $20 million they now has to get from sponsors - who refuse to help out again/    So the DNC has no funds to cover the   expenses stemming from organization of  riots in New York like the did in 2020.   

So I would not help criminal enhancemet in New York and the New York Times support of criminality is  continuing.   So I could not open the BS article  you quoted.  By the way the charges against Hegseh is BS and any statment on other Trump nominees has one thing in  common and that is war of the  exposing of malgovernance and bribery and corruption in the USA.   Boulos only mistake was he campaigned for Trump in Michigan  and that was the origin of he report you quoted from.    So live wih it - you support criminals becasue  you are brainwashed totally.

President-elect Donald Trump announced Saturday that he has selected Charles Kushner as his pick for ambassador to France.

Mr Kushner is a real-estate developer and the father of Jared Kushner, husband of his daughter Ivanka Trump. Trump pardoned Mr Kushner during his first term, waving away a federal conviction in 2020.

In a post to his social media site Truth Social, Trump said Mr Kushner is "a tremendous business leader, philanthropist, & dealmaker, who will be a strong advocate representing our Country & its interests".

The nomination appears to be the first administration position that Trump has formally offered to a relative since his re-election.

Also on Saturday, Trump announced two more picks - choosing former aide, Kash Patel, to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation, an agency Patel has often criticised.

And separately, Chad Chronister, sheriff of Florida's Hillsborough County, was nominated as head of the Drug Enforcement Agency.

Trump picks ex-aide Patel to lead FBI, Florida sheriff for DEA

Alongside many other presidential picks, ambassador appointments must be approved by a majority vote in the US Senate.

It's not clear what role Mr Kushner's background might play in a confirmation hearing.

The elder Kushner pleaded guilty to federal charges of tax evasion, campaign finance offences and witness tampering and was sentenced to two years in prison in 2005.

Among the evidence presented in court, prosecutors said Mr Kushner targeted a brother-in-law who was cooperating with authorities against him. He hired a prostitute to seduce the man, intending to intimidate him by sending video footage to his wife - Mr Kushner's sister.

Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, who ran against Trump in the latest Republican primary, prosecuted the case at the time and called it “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes” he had seen.

Jared Kushner served as an advisor during the first Trump administration, when Trump extended a pardon to Charles Kushner in a batch of announcements that also included pardons for former campaign manager Paul Manafort and ex-adviser Roger Stone.

In his announcement post on Saturday, Trump praised Jared Kushner's work and said he looked forward to working with Charles Kushner.

"Together, we will strengthen America’s partnership with France, our oldest Ally, & one of our greatest!"

Cannot comment on Getz anymore because  eh is not iconteention anymore,   He si going to sue the FBI for dmages anyway.   

Patel was a top class pick Trump made.   He helped  the Special Council  appointed o imvestigate the origin of the Russian  Hoax lies and  found oy=ut how the Obama WH and he FBI co-ordinated the spreading of the ies to the media.    He also discovered how the FI S Court were lied to by the FBI when they applied for permissin to spy on Page ansd that led to a Justice Department fouilty of frad and se nence to se Jail time.   

Patel knows exactly when and where the FBI was invovled in illegal activities and how to stop it.  Wray resigned beecaue of those activities - he did n want to b foed y rump - which could nail h im losing his ension benefits,   He also realized he would be in deep shit for  vaiety of offences - so by esigning  is  poing to esape from being involved in criminality,    I doubt whethe that woul help him at all - his  main problem  heing  lied to Congess under oath a number of times.   In  that scenrio lying under oath is a very serious crime with a minimum sentence of 6 years in jail,
