How Trump 'apparently inflated' senior adviser's resume [View all]
resident-elect Donald Trump has picked Lebanon-born businessman Massad Boulos — whose son Michael Boulos is married to his daughter Tiffany Trump — as a senior adviser on Middle Eastern affairs.
The older Boulos has been described as a "billionaire attorney" in articles. But according to Business Insider's Jack Newsham, "public records and interviews" indicate that he "appears to be neither a billionaire nor a licensed attorney."
President-elect Trump, Newsham reports in an article published on December 12, "apparently inflated Boulos' résumé."
"Business Insider found no proof of Boulos' supposed billions," according to Newsham. "And while he may have attended law school, he hasn't passed a bar exam and can't practice law."
Newsham adds that Massad Boulos "doesn't run" the company Boulos Enterprises, according to "several former employees and its actual boss, Boulos Boulos."
"A due-diligence report for Boulos Enterprises Ltd. created by Moody's Orbis database doesn't mention Massad Boulos," Newsham reports. "Archived copies of the Boulos Group website from 2016 and 2018 didn't mention him, either. And Elephant Africa Holding, a Mauritius company created by the Boulos Group to hold its paper businesses, also doesn't mention Massad in its corporate filings."...
