For months, President Donald Trump has been trying to convince Cindy McCain—a respected voice on refugees and other humanitarian issues and wife of Sen. John McCain, a Trump critic—to join his administration. Now, it’s a “done deal” for both parties, according to two senior administration officials.
After months of being offered—and rejecting—several potential posts in the Trump administration, Cindy McCain and the president came to the agreement of a Washington, D.C.-based ambassador-at-large position, which would focus on anti human trafficking efforts, refugees, and humanitarian-aid matters. The title being kicked around internally is “U.S. ambassador-at-large for human rights,” though that title is subject to change, and it is unclear if a new office within the State Department would be created for her.
“[Trump personally], aggressively courted her for this,” one White House official told The Daily Beast. “It’s a done deal now… The president had floated several positions before—this is the one that stuck.”

One way to gag McCain and thus his little buddy from SC. McCain voted with Trump on everything anyways, but he liked to talk a big game.

This is on top of Newt's wife being named Ambassador to the Vatican, and Mike Huckabee's daughter being Trump's press secretary, and Elaine Chao being Transportation Secretary. Mitt Romney's sister is RNC Chair - Prez usually handpicks chair during their admin.
