Washington – Ivanka Trump (click here) sent hundreds of emails last year to White House aides, Cabinet officials and her assistants using a personal account, many of them in violation of federal records rules, according to people familiar with a White House examination of her correspondence.
White House ethics officials learned of Trump’s repeated use of personal email when reviewing emails gathered last fall by five Cabinet agencies to respond to a public records lawsuit. That review revealed that throughout much of 2017, she often discussed or relayed official White House business using a private email account with a domain that she shares with her husband, Jared Kushner....
Trump, Jr. may not be the only family member that assisted Donald Trump and his campaign with Russian meetings. Ivanka introduced Cohen who later declined the invitation to meet Putin.

Ivanka Trump (click here) connected President Donald Trump's embattled lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen to a Russian weightlifter in 2015 who said he could introduce Trump to Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to a Buzzfeed News report that cites four sources.
Ivanka Trump is the president's elder daughter and an advisor in the White House.
Champion heavyweight weightlifter Dmitry Klokov reportedly offered to set up the meeting to help facilitate the construction of the 100-story Trump World Tower Moscow, according to the report. Cohen, who reportedly exchanged at least two emails and one phone call with the athlete, declined the assistance, according to Buzzfeed.
Cohen is currently being investigated by federal prosecutors in New York....
This isn't the first time Ivanka used emails for government business. Perhaps it was hidden from view because of all the hub-bub about tax reform. Both episodes need to be investigated.

As Republicans unveiled their tax reform plan Thursday, (click here) Newsweek learned that months after Ivanka Trump took an official White House position, she was still using a private email account to communicate with the U.S. Treasury Department, discussing national economic programs, her meetings with global leaders and the child care tax credit, one of her signature projects...
...On the invitee list, “Ivanka Kushner” again appears to not have a White House email address, while others do....
...The email tranche was obtained via Freedom of Information Act request by the nonprofit American Oversight. “After Ivanka Trump was exposed using a personal email account for government business, the White House assured the American people that the use was rare and limited to a short period of time before she officially started on staff," the organization's director, Austin Evers, said. "The facts, however, show us that the Trump administration has misled the public yet again. The hypocrisy of Ivanka Trump and her father’s administration should be surprising, but now sadly comes as no shock after months of evasive and shifting answers from the White House."...
...Ivanka Trump and Kushner’s use of private email accounts for White House business has been previously reported by Newsweek and others. They are believed to have used at least three private accounts. The White House in October announced it was launching an investigation into the use of private accounts for official business.
Representative Elijah Cummings, minority chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, requested on Thursday a vote on whether to subpoena the White House over the private emails. The subpoena had been held pending the White House internal review of the private emails, but, Cumming said in a statement, “we have received no date certain and no commitment for all the information we are seeking.”
Republicans voted it down....
The facts of the matter is that the Republican majority in the House and Senate has been covering for the Trump White House. They have obstructed any investigation to ILLEGAL use of private emails.
Basically, Trump's attitude is, "Do as I say, not as I do."

"Six White House Advisors used private emails." (click here)
The disclosures came a day after news surfaced that Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and adviser, used a private email account to send or receive about 100 work-related emails during the administration’s first seven months. But Mr. Kushner was not alone. Stephen K. Bannon, the former chief White House strategist, and Reince Priebus, the former chief of staff, also occasionally used private email addresses. Other advisers, including Gary D. Cohn and Stephen Miller, sent or received at least a few emails on personal accounts, officials said.
Ivanka Trump, the president’s elder daughter, who is married to Mr. Kushner, used a private account when she acted as an unpaid adviser in the first months of the administration, Newsweek reported Monday....
This isn't just politics as the Republicans like to portray it. This is about criminal activity. There were and are sanctions against Russia, it was illegal to have ANY relationship with Russian banks and Russian business or government organizations due to the Russian invasion into Ukraine and the BREAKING OF A TREATY.
EITHER WE ARE A COUNTRY OF LAWS OR WE ARE A BANANA REPUBLIC and any oppositional party will never be able to govern in the USA again.
"...such a request for further investigation is unlikely to proceed as long as the Republicans hold the majority..."
