I don't know. But he has done this sort of thing for both Bush & Raygun and is so obvious about it that even Safire couldn't ignore it.

Barr’s son-in-law, Tyler McGaughey, the husband of Barr’s youngest daughter, is as an attorney in the White House counsel’s office, where he acts to “advise the president, the executive office, and White House staff on legal issues concerning the president and the presidency.”

Meanwhile, Mary Daly, Barr’s oldest daughter, left her job in the deputy attorney general’s office for a gig at the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

Birds of a feather. Sometimes physically you can see what a person is all about. Barr has that look of a liar.
