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.
“Throughout this process I have been working closely and in good faith with the White House counsel and my personal counsel to address the unprecedented nature of my role,” she said.
Ms. Trump’s title will be assistant to the president. Her husband, Jared Kushner, has the title of senior adviser.

Alright! We’ll have a Trump dynasty!
OR she could just run her business and let pop run the White House.
I’m sure he’d survive without her input
And we won’t and up with an eight week maternity/paternity leave law.
The sure didn’t complain when Hillary Clinton declared you got two for the price of one.
We are the president...
The Left sure...
All I care about is results.
If she’s unpaid she’s doing volunteer work.
I think America does not need another woman pushing “women’s issues” within the federal government.
Please, haven’t we had enough Feminism?
It’s late, on first pass I read it as “...the unprecedented nature of my rule.”
Do we really need any doing so?
IIRC, it was Aristotle who said.
An old man’s greatest comfort, comes from his daughters.
True for me.
An employee is someone defined as receiving wages or salary. She is getting neither, so she’s not an employee. The NY Slimes is just continuing to stir their cauldron of evil.
Didn’t Moobacca list her 2 daughters as “staff” on at least one of her jet vacations?
Excellent! I’m thinking first female President someday.
SPOT ON !
Yes, but I doubt that Malaria and Sharia ever told their father what to do.
She is an employee. That makes her subject to different rules ..which is the point of making her an employee. They decided to do this after public outcry
I guess gorelick changed her mind on the ETHICS involved
She isn’t eligible and about as “CONSERVATIVE” as her BFF, Chelsea Clinton.
