To the Editor:

“President ‘Weighed In’ on Statement From His Son” (news article, Aug. 2) quotes Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, as saying, “The president weighed in, as any father would, based on the limited information that he had.”

Is this not a perfect example of the hazardous effects of nepotism? In helping to draft a misleading statement, the president put concern for family ahead of his duty to those whose interests the president was elected to serve.
