President Trump is being pressed for details on his daughter’s email use in office by the same Republican responsible for spearheading the congressional investigation into his former White House rival, Hillary Clinton, that uncovered details about her own email habits while secretary of state.
Rep. Trey Gowdy, the outgoing head of the House Oversight Committee, wrote the president’s chief of staff this week requesting further details about Ivanka Trump’s use of a private email address while serving as a formal adviser to her father.
“In light of the importance and necessity of preserving the public record and doing so in a manner that is reflective of relevant statutory and regulatory requirements, the Committee must assess whether the White House took adequate steps to archive Ms. Trump’s emails and prevent a recurrence,” Mr. Gowdy, South Carolina Republican, wrote in a letter Wednesday to John Kelly.
Mr. Gowdy, 54, led the House panel’s investigation into the 2012 terrorist attack at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, taking particular interest in Mrs. Clinton’s handling of the incident as secretary of state under former President Barack Obama. The probe ultimately uncovered substantial details about Mrs. Clinton’s use of a private email server for government business, and Mr. Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor, later claimed that she should have been subsequently charged for mishandling classified information.
More recently, The Washington Post revealed on Monday this week that Ms. Trump, the president’s eldest daughter and an unpaid senior White House adviser, similarly used a private email account in 2017 to send hundreds of messages to various White House aides, administration officials and assistants while in office.

If he’s as effective about Ivanka’s emails as he was about Hillary’s, Ivanka has nothing to be afraid of.
Pos
The SOB will soon be gone.
Anyway, nothing illegal here. This is all fake news.
Another Deep State puppet who used deception to make everyone believe he was a rock solid conservative. The Swamp has the goods on Gomer Gowdy hence his attack now on Ivanka!
When are they going to start asking questions about Hillary’s emails?
I don’t think there’s is a blatant example of a politician having been bought off than Gowdy.
I once respected him so much. Now he’s lower than a worm to me
“Led the house investigation on Benghazi”
Hahaha I don’t think Ivanka has anything to worry about. The guy is evidently incompetent. I’ll take this move on Trey’s part as a warning shot from the deep state against Trump.
The 30th day of never.
Was the material highly classified? No. Did she use illegal private server set up in her residence? No. Did she erase tens of thousands (or any, for that matter) emails and then use bleachbit to wipe the server clean? Did she smash her cell phone to bits with hammer? No.
Hey Creepy Trey, F-off you Deep State lemming.
You can say that for all those congress critters!
I am thinking maybe he’s doing a friendly investigation to offer her some official exoneration, while perhaps they tighten up procedures?
That seems to be the way they can let her off the hook without letting the rest of the gov’s employees off the hook in the future?
Me too, get it out in the open, present it as minor BS and move on
Not sure what the petty hair dig is about
Draining the swamp is soon to be a few steps closer with a few eliminated dwellers like big mouth Gowdy.
Might as well get Barron’s emails and video game records while you are at it Treyster.
Oh wait, that was HILLARY.
I am SICK and tired of this ENDLESS assault on our president and his associates. The ATTEMPTED COUP continues..
Add this to the smarmy comments he has made about Trump & the Russia witch-hunt - the jerk is working for the other side. Maybe not officially, but the effect is the same.
As if he didn’t have anything better to do in the last dozen or so days that he will still be in Congress.
What a moron. There is no way he will wrap up any “investigation” into Ivanka’s emails before the end of his term, because the dems in the next Congress will pursue it ad nauseam.
I hope Trump never considered Humpty Dumpty head as his next AG.
Most of us here have had Gowdy’s number for awhile. He’s deep state tool and a back stabbing traitor. He always comes to the Rats rescue when things start to get close. It’s amazing, even here we have some who want to make this punk the AG.
Call him “The Rooster” because of his hair? Call him the “Capon. More strutting and combing than balls.
He thinks he’s found POTUS Trump’s “Achille’s Heel”. This should be sweet.
