See the roles of President Trump's inner circle before and after the inauguration.
President Donald Trump's three oldest children have always played a role in his business empire, so it was no big surprise when his daughter, Ivanka, made the move to Washington, DC, after the inauguration.
Regardless of their level of involvement, the lives of those closest to President Trump have been forever altered.
Below, take a look at those closest to the president — including his children, the first lady, and a few in key adviser roles — and their lives both before and after Trump's presidential win.
Trump spent decades in the business world before getting into politics. However, he did run for president on the Reform Party ticket in 1999. He left the race early because of infighting not "conducive to victory."
