LOCK HER UP: Ivanka Trump used a personal email account to conduct govt biz.. [View all]
American Oversight obtained documents through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that show Ivanka Trump, a senior White House adviser to her father, used a personal email account to contact Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Linda McMahon in February.
Ivanka Trump wrote that she wanted to “explore opportunities to collaborate” with McMahon’s department on “women’s entrepreneurship,” according to the emails released under FOIA.
"Dina [Powell, the White House deputy national security director] and I are very excited about your focus on women's entrepreneurship and would love to assist you in any way we can," Ivanka Trump wrote.
The documents show Ivanka Trump exchanged the emails with McMahon about a month before she became an official government employee, though she had been involved with high-level meetings within the administration. However, Ivanka Trump copied her chief of staff, Julie Radford, on the emails. In them, Radford has a White House email account.
The White House did not immediately respond for comment.
