Ivanka Trump used personal email for government business
Tehran (KNA) - Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka used a personal email account for government business, a spokesman has confirmed, reportedly sending hundreds of emails from the account.
The revelation in the Washington Post on Mondayprompted immediate accusations of hypocrisy. Trump branded his 2016 election rival "Crooked Hillary" Clinton over her use of a private email server and encouraged supporters in chants of "Lock her up!"
The Post report said Ivanka, a White House senior adviser, used a personal account to send hundreds of emails last year to White House aides, cabinet officials and her assistants - many in violation of federal records rules.
White House ethics officials learned of her practice when reviewing emails gathered last autumn by five cabinet agencies to respond to a public records lawsuit, according to the report. They found that Ivanka often discussed or relayed official White House business using a private email account with a domain that she shares with her husband, Jared Kushner, during much of last year.
Her excuse is that she was unaware of some details of the records rules, her associates told the Post.
