Ivanka Trump, ex-Democratic donor, teams up with conservatives to push family-friendly policies. Ivanka Trump showed up in Washington last year with a to-do list of policies straight from the Democratic playbook. USA TODAY spent a day talking with the president's daughter, who wanted the administration to tackle paid family leave, equal pay for women and affordable childcare. She though Democrats would join her in trying to move the agenda forward -- after all, these were issues they had been championing for years. But Democrats said her plans did not go far enough. So the former businesswoman has turned to conservatives to try to make a deal. Ref. USAToday.
FBI counterintel investigating Ivanka Trump business deal
US counterintelligence officials are scrutinizing one of Ivanka Trump's international business deals, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
The FBI has been looking into the negotiations and financing surrounding Trump International Hotel and Tower in Vancouver, according to a US official and a former US official. The scrutiny could be a hurdle for the first daughter as she tries to obtain a full security clearance in her role as adviser to President Donald Trump. Source 1o.
