He is selling his company (Skybridge Capital) to HNA Group, a Chinese conglomerate, and it has to pass regulatory review before the sale goes final. Until it the sale is done, he doesn't/can't actually work for the White House. He's going to kiss as much as he needs to get Trump to OK the deal (POTUS can override the CFIUS committee's ruling). Speculation is that the price may be inflated to curry favor with a future senior White House official. So business as usual.

As a side amusement, HNA is the largest shareholder in Deutsche Bank. Trump launders a lot of Russian money through Deutsche Bank...
