Ivanka Trump Says There's 'No Equivalency' Between Her And Hillary Clinton Email Use
- 5 years ago
Ivanka Trump has weighed in on her personal email use.
First daughter and White House adviser Ivanka Trump has defended her personal email use for government work, saying there's "no equivalency" to Hillary Clinton's email usage.
"All of my emails that relate to any form of 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," she said in an interview with ABC.
"They are all stored on the White House system, so everything has been preserved," she added. "Everything has been archived."
When pressed on comparison with President Trump's characterization of Clinton's emails, the first daughter said, "there is no intent to circumvent."
The president has also defended Ivanka Trump, calling her emails "very innocent" and nothing like Clinton's. He recently said in response to a reporter's question about them: "Very innocent. A short period of time. Very early on. There was no deletion of emails like the 33K plus probably another 100K that Hillary did after she got a subpoena." Trump continued: "There was no BleachBit. There was no anything. Just innocent emails. There were no classified emails…Another fake news story."
The Washington Post reported last week that Ivanka Trump used personal email to conduct government business throughout the bulk of 2017. The publication also noted that some "aides were startled by the volume of Ivanka Trump's personal emails — and taken aback by her response when questioned about the practice. She said she was not familiar with some details of the rules, according to people with knowledge of her reaction."
