4 of 6 people in this photo have no official government position. They run private businesses, are campaign advisers. Why are they attending an official state dinner on behalf of the United States?

(10,137 posts)3. I'm not sure the other two do either
There's this pesky anit-nepotism law that Trump and the press seem to have forgotten about that precludes Ivanka and Jared from holding official positions. AFAIK, they're just informal "advisors" without any specific duties or responsibilities - or oversight.
