President Trump has reportedly been asking close friends and advisers for their thoughts about having daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner in the White House--namely, “whether having his family members in the government is creating too much noise.” 
Politico, which reported the account, citing multiple inside officials, adds that one source pointed out that “the president's concern about their current roles was not driven by any sense that they were unable to serve appropriately, but out of a desire to protect his daughter and son-in-law.” 
They have been lightning rods of controversy since joining the administration; for example, Ivanka was widely criticized for temporarily taking her father’s seat during the G20 summit in July. 
The president ended up defending her on twitter which prompted more controversy. 
Ivanka has also been called over specific incidents like her limited response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, and general grievances like not speaking out against some of her father’s more extreme views. 
“There’s a level of viciousness that I was not expecting," Ivanka told 'Fox & Friends' in a June interview. "I think some of the distractions and some of the ferocity, I was a little blindsided by on a personal level.”   
Meanwhile, Kushner, a White House senior adviser, has also been embroiled in some potentially serious legal issues since taking the public sector job. These include multiple omissions on security clearance forms, recent reports that he had used a private email address to communicate about government business, and allegations that he may have had improper contacts with Russia. 
“Jared is doing a great job for the country," Trump defended Kushner back in May. "I have total confidence in him.”
