Ivanka Trump says ‘Lock her up!’ doesn’t apply to her

WASHINGTON — Ivanka Trump defended her use of a private email account as she was moving into an adviser’s position in her father’s administration, saying it cannot be compared to the flap over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server and that “Lock her up!” doesn’t apply to her.

“All of my emails are stored and preserved. There were no deletions,” President Donald Trump’s elder daughter and adviser told ABC News in an interview broadcast Wednesday.

The Washington Post reported this month that Ivanka Trump sent hundreds of emails about government business from a personal email account last year to White House aides, Cabinet members and her assistant, many in violation of publicrecords rules.

“There is no restriction of using personal email,” she said. “In fact, we’re instructed that if we receive an email Apple CEO Tim Cook and Ivanka Trump, daughter and adviser to President Donald Trump, talk with first-grader Israel Perez on Tuesday about work he’s doing on his iPad during a visit to Wilder Elementary School in Boise, Idaho. Cooke and Trump visited to examine the district’s use of technology.

to our personal account that could relate to government work, you simply just forward it to your government account so it can be archived.”

Clinton, saying she didn’t know the rules, used a personal email account linked to a private server at her home in Chappaqua, New York, during her time as top diplomat. The FBI found classified

information in some of emails.

Donald Trump has criticized Clinton for that, saying she belongs in jail. At his rallies, chants of “Lock her up!” ring out.

Ivanka Trump was asked, “So the idea of ‘Lock her up!’ doesn’t apply to you?”

“No,” she replied. “There’s no equivalency to what my father’s spoken about.”
