Washington (AP) -- As Donald Trump and President Barack Obama met privately at the White House, the president-elect's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, strolled the mansion's South Lawn, deep in conversation with Obama's chief of staff.

Kushner held no formal role in Trump's campaign, and is said to be undecided on whether he'll join the administration. But his presence during the White House visit served notice that Kushner will continue to be an unparalleled power center in Trump's orbit, with or without a West Wing office.
