Ivanka Trump Used Personal Email Address for Government Business

[Phil in Absentia]

Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter and a top White House adviser, sent hundreds of emails about government business from a personal email account last year, CBS News confirms.

The emails were sent to White House aides, Cabinet members and Ivanka Trump's assistants, many in violation of public records rules, The Washington Post first reported Monday.

President Trump mercilessly criticized his 2016 Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, for using a private email server during her time as secretary of state, labeling her "Crooked Hillary" and saying she belonged in jail. Crowds at many of his rallies chanted, "Lock her up. Lock her up!" referring to Clinton's email practices.

An administration official confirmed the Post report and was aware of Ms. Trump's emails, and characterized them as containing information related mostly to logistics and personal interests.

The official defended Ivanka Trump from comparisons to Clinton, noting Ms. Trump did not understand email communications rules and her emails also did not contain classified information. Ms. Trump also stopped using her personal address when she was informed her private email couldn't be used for government communication, the administration official told CBS News.

"Well, look, Alisyn, it's hypocritical and certainly it looks bad, and I'm sure the media will have a field day with it today," former White House legislative affairs director Marc Short told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day."

"I accept that today's story is an ironic one and shows hypocrisy and is a mistake, and the administration shouldn't have had government emails going to private emails servers," he said, adding that "all of the emails have been handed back over to the federal government."

Speaking later on "New Day," former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci made a similar point.
"Well, certainly I think it's hypocritical. I think even Ivanka, if she was interviewed about, she'd have to say it was a mistake. You can't do that in that position," Scaramucci told Camerota.

"There had to be a reason why she was doing that. The same thing I would say about Secretary Clinton," he added. "I think it's a serious matter. I'm not making light of it."

It's been an acceptable practice, though

Are you surprised? There’s always deflection

[Shane Falco]

Lock her up amirite?

Can’t wait to see how this one plays out.

[Dunny]

Sure, lock her up. She's a problem.

Great tits, though.

[Bieser]

Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information... no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case

"Violation of public records rules" and sending classified information seems a little bit different, no?

I understand the difference. And agree with you in part....i didn’t agree with what Clinton did, but it was somewhat common practice for many. And president Obama enacted legislation after to clear up the Grey areas in regards to that situation.

Trumps idiotic grandstanding during the campaign in regards to “lock her up”......

Karma is a bitch that’s gonna bite him
