I’m not sure when, if ever, GOP officials are going to admit that Trump’s judgment in hiring people is a problem. You’d think their embarrassing diatribes about Michael Cohen being a liar — the man Trump employed as his Executive VP and Special Counsel for a decade — they might leave them feeling a little bit uncomfortable. Or maybe the legion of people already fired for corruption and turpitude would give them a clue. But they can’t even bring themselves to question him over the likes of Scott Pruitt or Ryan Zincke so there’s little chance they’ll be upset about the fact that he discarded the concerns of the intelligence community about his leveraged, compromised son-in-law.

His judgment is terrible anyway so allowing him to put his family members into these sensitive situations is truly dangerous. They know they can get away with anything under Daddy’s protection, especially since the Republicans will pretty much give him a free hand to sell-out the country.
The Democrats will be looking into it.
