Since the controversial photo of Ivanka Trump sitting in the chair of the Oval Office was released last February, there has been speculation that the role of the oldest daughter of United States President Donald Trump would be greater than had been announced. Well, she herself announced yesterday that she will be an employee of the United States government.

Through a press release, the wife of presidential adviser Jared Kushner said: I heard the concerns that some have about my advising the President in my personal capacity, although voluntarily complying with all ethical standards, so I will serve as an employee unpaid in the White House offices, and I will be subject to the same rules as any other federal employee.”

As expected, the criticism has not been delayed, and there are those who question how it is possible that Ivanka Trump, 35, is an assistant to the president, while her husband, 36, has the title of chief adviser.

The New York Times reported that when similar questions were raised back then in January about whether the Kushner's appointment violated federal anti-nepotism laws, the Justice Department wrote a memorandum stating that the rules did not apply to the White House..

For her part, Ivanka Trump said that throughout this process she has been working with her legal advisers and those of the Casa Banca to address the "unprecedented nature" of her new role as a member of the President's family.
