Ivanka Trump, Shifting Plans, Will Become a Federal Employee

Ivanka Trump, the elder daughter of President Trump, is becoming an official government employee, joining her husband in serving as an unpaid adviser to her father in the White House.

Ms. Trump already has an office in the West Wing, and she said last week that she would serve as an informal adviser to her father. But that plan prompted criticism from ethics experts, who said it would allow her to avoid some rules and disclosures.

“I have heard the concerns some have with my advising the president in my personal capacity while voluntarily complying with all ethics rules, and I will instead serve as an unpaid employee in the White House office, subject to all of the same rules as other federal employees,” Ms. Trump said in a statement on Wednesday.

The only good thing is she will now be accountable via Fed. regs.

probably not.
Jared has not.
Trump has not.

2. This is so appalling I don't even have enough

vocabulary to express my outrage. Can we even imagine what the response would have been from Repubnicks had a Dem put his daughter in this position? It would be funny if not so frightening.

3. This s wrong.

The nepotism law is not about salary. Some jlawyer should stop this.

4. I wonder

if Ivanka will eventually run for President herself. This is pure speculation, but this unpaid job would enable her to still be an "outsider" of sorts while having White House experience.
Of course, I believe she's there mainly to babysit her father.

5. Daughter - wife - whatever.

Not exactly something new.
