Ivanka Trump, the first daughter and adviser to the president, used a personal email address to communicate with a government official after her father took office, according to documents that the nonprofit American Oversight obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and shared exclusively with Newsweek.
The documents show that on February 28, Trumpidentifying herself as Ivanka Kushneremailed Linda McMahon, the administrator of the United States Small Business Administration, from a personal domain. At the time, Trump was operating inside the White House in a nonofficial capacity. She wrote that she wanted McMahons agency and her staff to explore opportunities to collaborate on issues related to womens entrepreneurship. She copied on the correspondence the government email addresses of two other federal employees, Dina Powell and Julie Radford.
Trump became an unpaid federal employee in March. But multiple government ethics experts say she likely could have had access to a White House email account in February, given that she is first daughter. Radford, her chief of staff, had a White House email address at the time.
Ivanka Trump was sitting in on White House meetings around the time she sent the email, including one between her father and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and a gathering of the business advisory council.

so the laws do not apply to them. You won't be hearing "Lock them up" from the deplorables. The hypocrisy is unbelievable.
Maybe Ivanka was trying to set up a date with Trudeau.
