What's New

Donald Trump's eldest daughter Ivanka Trump is still an "informal adviser" to the president-elect, a longtime friend of hers told CNN in an article published Sunday. Newsweek reached out to Trump's transition team via email for comment as well as Affinity Partners, the investment firm of Ivanka's husband Jared Kushner, for comment from Ivanka and Kushner Sunday afternoon.

Why It Matters

Trump has long tapped his family members to help him run the White House. During his first term, Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner served as senior advisers to the president.

During Trump's first term, Ivanka focused on "education and economic empowerment of women and their families," as well as "job creation and economic growth through workforce development, skills training and entrepreneurship," according to an old White House profile.

In November 2022, shortly after Trump announced that he would run for president for a third time, Ivanka said on Instagram that she would not be in the political spotlight moving forward.
