WaPo: Ivanka Trump Used Personal Email Account for Official Business

HeadlineNov 20, 2018

The Washington Post is reporting White House senior adviser and presidential daughter Ivanka Trump used a personal email account and private email servers to send hundreds of messages to Cabinet officials and aides, in violation of federal records rules. Ivanka reportedly sent the emails through a domain name she shared with her husband, Jared Kushner—who’s also a senior White House adviser. When questioned by other White House officials over the practice, Ivanka Trump reportedly said she was unfamiliar with some details of the rules. Ahead of the 2016 election, Donald Trump repeatedly led chants of “Lock her up!” at campaign rallies as he attacked his opponent Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server she used as secretary of state.
