The first daughter of the US President, Ivanka Trump, received nearly $ 750,000 from the Trump Organization while working for the organization.

Ivanka has tried to be the acceptable face of her father, the US president, Donald Trump, but she was apparently feeding her own political ambitions, which is why Trump's eldest daughter did not come out unscathed from the recent leak about his financial wrongdoing.

It is possible that the New York Times investigation of Trump's tax returns may cause permanent damage to Ivanka, who is currently working as a senior adviser to him and the main agent for his re-election campaign, and appears to have received "advisory fees" paid by the "Trump Organization", which helped reduce The Trump family tax bill, while at the same time an employee of the organization.

The newspaper pointed out that “Trump's private records show that his company once paid 747,622 dollars in fees to an unnamed consultant for hotel projects in Hawaii and Vancouver in British Columbia.” It seems that this person is Ivanka, as the public disclosure forms for Ivanka, She provided when she joined White House staff in 2017, shows that she received a similar amount through a consulting firm she jointly owned.

While Trump quickly set out to defend himself as usual, rejecting the tax report, describing it as "fake news", Ivanka clearly remained silent about her alleged violation, knowing that in the past she used to make a great distance between her and the biggest scandals of her father's administration.

Joshua Kendall, author of "Fathers' Fathers: Parenting and Politics from George Washington to Barack Obama," says: "There seems to be interference with her declaring the same amount of money in her financial disclosure, so this could be very harmful to her situation. There was some speculation about the criminal prosecution." "This may really be a turning point for her."

Such a development would be a rare setback for Ivanka, 38, whose husband, Jared Kushner, is also a senior White House adviser, has long enjoyed privileged status and is seen as "Trump's golden baby."

Ivanka introduced her father to the Republican National Convention in 2016, and again this year, and used the first speaker's pronoun a lot, to put herself in the heart of his presidency. Examples of this are: “I sat with him in the Oval Office when he stopped traveling to Europe,” and “I was With my father when he decided to cancel the life sentence for Alice, ”referring to the drug trafficker, Alice Mary Johnson,“ I stood next to my father at Dover Air Force Base, where our martyrs were welcomed ”, and“ Four years ago, I told you that I would fight alongside my father, After four years, here I am. ”

The letter sparked speculation that Ivanka is putting herself in the position of an heir. New York Times columnist Maureen Dodd wrote: “Ivanka must now realize that she and Jared cannot return to their normal lives in New York society, so why not redouble her efforts in Washington and lay down The basis for running her own presidential election? », The idea of ​​the ruling family reappeared, when a book written by former Trump deputy campaign manager, Rick Gates, stated that the Republican candidate, Trump, wanted to name Ivanka as his deputy in the 2016 election, and Ivanka reportedly told her father That was not a good idea, and in the end he chose Mike Pence.

Rick Wilson, the co-founder of Project Lincoln, a group led by anti-Trump Republican advisers, rejected the idea of ​​Ivanka running for president in 2024 or later. Means that they will be viable in terms of winning and assuming a higher position ».

Other commentators say that while Ivanka will follow her father's example by ignoring this recent political debate, the legal implications of her may be more damaging. "I think she has an ambition," says Michael Dantonio, political analyst and author of The Trump Truth, Michael Dantonio. There is a suspicion that she imagines herself as a prominent figure indefinitely. The Trump family believes that anything leaks out of them is very disturbing, and they feel that they can get out of any impasse related to their base. ”And he goes on:“ But this amount may have more serious criminal ramifications. If she accepted this money on purpose, and understood that it was for tax evasion, and then her father knowingly signed the tax returns, then both of them may bear criminal responsibility, so I don't think it's a small thing that can be resolved as follows: Well, it's very bad that she is I made this mistake. ”
