President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump may appear in the next tranche of document requests by the House Judiciary Committee as it probes alleged abuses of power by her father.
A House Judiciary Committee member left the door open to Ivanka Trump receiving a documents request as the circumstances around her White House security clearance continue to be probed.
The couple are both White House advisers, Trump focusing on business and women, and Kushner on the administration’s Middle East policy. Two of President Trump’s sons—Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump—both received documents requests from the judiciary committee. Representative David Cicilline, a Rhode Island Democrat who sits on the judiciary committee, told CNN: “We will certainly attempt to learn by both requesting documents and bringing witnesses before the judiciary committee...what their concerns were.”
“It’s important to remember this is our first round of document requests,” Cicilline replied. “I expect that we will have additional requests that will go out. We haven’t generated those yet. We’ll certainly look at the materials we get to make determinations as to other individuals that should be the subject of document requests.” White House Presidential Advisor Ivanka Trump attends a panel discussion during the 55th Munich Security Conference in Munich, southern Germany, on February 16, 2019.
Chairman Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, said in a statement that Trump had “evaded accountability for his near-daily attacks on our basic legal, ethical and constitutional rules and norms. Investigating these threats to the rule of law is an obligation of Congress and a core function of the House Judiciary Committee.”
