President Donald Trump will name his son-in-law, White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, to lead a new office responsible for streamlining and overhauling the federal government on Monday, the White House told NBC News on Sunday night.
“All Americans, regardless of their political views, can recognize that government stagnation has hindered our ability to properly function, often creating widespread congestion and leading to cost overruns and delays,” according to a statement issued Sunday in Trump’s name.
“I promised the American people I would produce results, and apply my ‘ahead of schedule, under budget’ mentality to the government,” the statement said.
Plans for the new structure, to be called the White House Office of American Innovation, were first reported Sunday by The Washington Post. The Post reported that Trump’s chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, a highly controversial figure, would have no formal role in the operation.

Another job for a member of the royal family. How much is this new position going to cost the taxpayers?
One way to make government more efficient like a business is to get rid of useless political jobs, not add more of them.

Kushner says gov is a business and citizens are "customers."
Actually the Constitution says citizens are the owners — you report to them. pic.twitter.com/THIDEYz6i9
