Impeachment to overturn 2016 results: Ivanka

Rabat, Nov. 8: Ivanka Trump on Friday weighed in on the House impeachment inquiry of her father from half a world away.

President Donald Trump’s daughter and White House adviser said in an interview that she shares his oft-repeated view that the impeachment investigation is about “overturning the results of the 2016 election.”

But she seemed to part ways with the president and allies who have been pressuring the news media to publicly identify the whistleblower whose complaint helped launch the investigation.

“Basically since the election, this has been the experience that our administration and our family has been having,”

Ivanka Trump said of persistent criticism of the president.

“Rather than wait, under a year, until the people can decide for themselves based on his record and based on his accomplishments, this new effort has commenced.”

Ivanka Trump said that the whistleblower’s identity is “not particularly relevant” to the impeachment inquiry and declined to speculate on the motives behind the whistleblower’s complaint. The whistleblower should no longer be a “substantive part” of the conversation, she said, noting that the individual was not among administration officials who heard President Trump ask Ukraine’s leader during a July 25 telephone conversation to investigate former vice-president Joe Biden, currently a leading contender for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination to challenge Trump. Ivanka is wrapping up a three-day visit to Morocco.
