The brother-in-law of President Trump’s son is working to implement the president’s agenda at the Department of Energy (DOE).
Kyle Yunaska, brother-in-law of Eric Trump through Trump’s wife Lara, is on the so-called “beachhead” team of DOE political appointees working to run the agency following the president’s inauguration last month, a person familiar with Yunaska’s position said.
Axios reported on Yunaska’s hiring at the DOE earlier Thursday.
The Trump administration has already faced allegations of nepotism.
Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, is one of his closest advisers, and Ivanka Trump, Kushner’s wife, is working closely with the administration on a number of initiatives, although she is not an employee. The Justice Department has ruled that Kushner’s hiring does not violate anti-nepotism laws.
Yunaska’s work at the DOE involves the Office of Energy Policy and Systems Analysis.

Eric Trump’s brother-in-law landed an Energy Department job
“He does not appear to have a background in energy policy, and his Facebook page lists his position as a tax analyst at Georgetown University and former accounting manager at the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health.”
