Ivanka Trump Sent Hundreds of Government-Related Emails From Person Account - Reports

WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 20th November, 2018) Ivanka Trump, a close adviser to her father US President Donald Trump, sent numerous emails on official US government affairs from a private account during 2017, US media said.

Ms. Trump sent hundreds of emails last year to White House aides, Cabinet officials and her assistants using a personal account, the Washington Post reported on Monday.

Many of those emails were sent in violation of US Federal records rules, the newspaper said quoting people familiar with a White House examination of her correspondence.

White House ethics officials discovered Ivanka Trump's repeated use of personal email when they were reviewing correspondence in order to respond to a public records lawsuit, the report said.

In the 2016 presidential election campaign, then-presidential candidate Donald Trump repeatedly attacked his opponent, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, for using her personal email account during her tenure as secretary of state.
