“I will continue to offer my father my candid advice and counsel” | Ivanka Trump gets an office in the White House

By Itunuoluwa Adebo

Ivanka Trump has moved into the White House today. Though she currently holds no official title in the White House, she is working out of a West Wing office and will soon get access to classified information, even though she is not technically serving as a government employee.

Jamie Gorelick, an attorney and ethics adviser for Trump, said Monday that the first daughter will not have an official title but will get a West Wing office, government-issued communications devices and security clearance to access classified information.

In a statement issued to the website Politico, Ivanka Trump acknowledged the lack of precedent to take on such an ambiguous role: “I will continue to offer my father my candid advice and counsel, as I have for my entire life,” she said. “While there is no modern precedent for an adult child of the president, I will voluntarily follow all of the ethics rules placed on government employees.”
