In a social position of truth, Donald Trump described Massad Boulos as “an accomplished lawyer and a highly respected leader in the business world”.
“He was a long-standing supporter of republican and conservative values, an asset in my countryside, and played a decisive role in the construction of huge new coalitions with the American Arab community,” he wrote in part.
The description of Trump of Massad Boulos as a “accomplished lawyer” may not be correct. Although Massad Boulos has listed a law diploma in Texas Southern University on his Linkedin profile, an initiate investigation found that he does not seem to be authorized to practice law in one of the countries where he lived.
Massad Boulos would also have been largely the billionaire owner of Boulos Enterprises and told the New York Times in December that his business was worth billions. However, Boulos Enterprises belongs to another Boulos family. The small automobile company Massad Boulos directs, Scoa Nigeria, is worth around $ 865,000.
Massad Boulos later told the New York Times that he was referring to his stepfather’s companies when he asked him about his business. The wife of Massad Boulos, Sarah Fadoul Boulos, is the daughter of the Lebanese businessman wealthy Michel Zouhair Fadoul, who directs the conglomerate of the Fadoul group.
In an email at Business Insider, Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt described the media to revise the references of Boulos “from false news”.
“The truth is that Mr. Boulos is a highly respected businessman who has proudly been the CEO of some of his family groups in West Africa for over 27 years, and his family has employed tens of thousands of people around the world,” said Leavitt.
