Ivanka Trump is officially joining her father's administration as an unpaid employee with the title Assistant to the President, the White House says.
Ms Trump, 35, said she had "heard the concerns some have with my advising the president in my personal capacity". Her husband, Jared Kushner, is a senior adviser to President Donald Trump. America's Next first lady, Ivanka Trump? Jared Kushner, Trump's trusted son-in-law Are the Trumps the next political dynasty? Ivanka Trump has been attending meetings with world leaders, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In a statement, the White House said it was "pleased that Ivanka Trump has chosen to take this step in her unprecedented role as first daughter".
Ms Trump said in her statement that she had been "working in good faith with the White House Counsel and my personal counsel to address the unprecedented nature of my role". . Critics said Ms Trump's role ought to be made official so she could be bound by federal employee transparency and ethical standards, including a law prohibiting conflicts of interest.
Ms Trump has already taken steps to limit possible conflicts of interest in her business affairs. She has passed management of her eponymous fashion label to the company president and established a trust for oversight. Ms Trump has also stepped down from a leadership role in the Trump Organization, although she will continue to receive fixed payments from the real estate firm.

If I was Ivanka, I’d hire the meanest, nastiest pit bull DC lawyer I could imagine. Gorelick fits the bill. Politics ain’t beanbag. It’s a shame she didn’t ask Freepers first for approval.
You’re wasting bandwidth and I hope you get help soon, for your mental illness.
Gorelick is afaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar lefty Clintonista and Ivanka and Jared are STUPID BEYOND BELIEF for hiring her.
That’s my uninformed guess, but someone needs to ask and get a truthful answer.
Yeah, DC lawyers are scum, I get it. Name three far right lawyers worth a damn.
Post augmentation, not sure about where in the having kids timeline.
If you HATE the president, then yes, she is PERFECT, to bring him down/have him lose re-election, in 2020.
Gorgeous woman!!!
(and I’m a woman! Oh, and not lesbian. ;) )
Love it!!!! :)
She’ll NEVER be eligible to be president; she isn’t a NBC and you’re pathetic.
not eligible, unless you want to further trash the constitution
Yes, we need to know WHO is paying Gorelick and WHY the Kushners were allowed to hire her.
I don’t need or want this.
I’d much prefer the President be surrounded by serious people with long and proven track records of excellence in challenging environments.
I’m not too keen on Ivanka’s husband, either.
There probably are none; however, Jaime Gorelick is a hard core Clintonista and they shouldn’t have hired her. It screams of MORDANT STUPIDITY; at best.
No...you’re just dumb.
I whole heartily concur.
