Ivanka: It’s nothing like Hil’s mess

- BY JESSICA SCHLADEBEC­K

Ivanka Trump says “lock her up” doesn’t apply to her.

During an interview with ABC News Wednesday morning, the First Daughter (photo) waved off comparison­s between her use of a private email account and Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, which President Trump repeatedly seized on and condemned during his bid for the White House.

“There really is no equivalenc­y,” she said.

“All of my emails that relate to any government work — which was mainly scheduling and logistics, and managing the fact that I have a home life and work life — are all part of the public record. They’re all stored on the White House system. Everything has been preserved and archived.”

Earlier this month, it was revealed Trump, a senior adviser at the White House, used her personal account to conduct official government business, which the President has defended. He told reporters last week that he looked into the matter and concluded “they’re all in presidenti­al records.”

It’s a far cry from his passionate demands for justice on the campaign trail, where he dubbed Clinton a criminal for using a private server while she worked as secretary of state.

Ivanka Trump also argued that in Clinton’s case, there were mass deletions after a subpoena was issued, and again emphasized that all her emails have been stored.

“People who want to see it as the same, see it as the same,” Trump told ABC. “But that fact is, we all have private emails and personal emails to coordinate with our families, we all receive content to those emails, and there’s no prohibitio­n from using a private email server as long as it’s archived and there’s nothing classified.”

Despite all of that, Democrats on Capitol Hill said that they “want to know if Ivanka complied” with the law and intend to continue their investigat­ion concerning the Presidenti­al Records Act and Federal Records Act in the next Congress.
