“Putting Jared Kushner, a 30-something person with no foreign policy or defense policy experience, as a leading representative of the United States is simply outrageous,” retired Gen. Barry McCaffrey told MSNBC.

He also warned that Kushner's portfolio shows the "personalization of a family business dealing with U.S. policy."

Earlier this month, a group of 25 House Democrats called for White House chief of staff John Kelly to fire Kushner.

The lawmakers wrote in a letter it is "impossible for the American people or their elected Representatives to have faith that Jared Kushner will put their interests above his own personal and finance interests."

The letter cites a series of recent reports on Kushner's financial interests with foreign leaders.

The Washington Post reported late last month that foreign officials from at least four countries have discussed how to use Kushner’s lack of experience to their advantage.
