Trump’s daughter Ivanka takes unpaid job as White House adviser

First Daughter Ivanka Trump is about to take on another title as an unpaid adviser to her father President Donald Trump, the White House announced.

She will officially join her father’s administration as an unpaid employee with the title Assistant to the President, the White House said.

Ivanka, whose husband Jared Kushner also works as a se- nior aide to the president, will not receive a salary for her work as a federal employee. Kushner, a real estate developer, is also unpaid.

“We are pleased that Ivanka Trump has chosen to take this step in her unprecedented role as First Daughter and in support of the president,” a White House statement said.

“Ivanka’s service as an unpaid employee furthers our commitment to ethics, transparency, and compliance and affords her increased opportunities to lead initiatives driving real policy benefits for the American public that would not have been available to her previously.”

In the couple of months since her father became presi- dent, Ivanka, 35, has been a regular presence at the White House, where she already has an office.

She was present when her father received Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in January, and earlier this month took part in a roundtable discussion with President Trump and Chancellor Angela Merkel during the German leader’s visit to the White House.

Her involvement with her father’s official duties has raised eyebrows in some quarters over possible conflicts of interest. But Ivanka, who was part of her father’s business empire and ran an eponymous fashion line, said those qualms are unfounded.
