Ivanka Trump Speaks On Private Email, Says Theres No Equivalency To What Hillary Clinton Did
Hanna Bogorowski | Reporter
Advisor to the president Ivanka Trump responded to the criticism shes received for her use of a private email during her time in her fathers administration, saying there is “no equivalency” between her situation and the one that plagued Hillary Clinton.
Reports surfaced earlier in November claiming Trump sent hundreds of emails in 2017 to White House aides and Cabinet officials discussing official White House business, something critics claimed was no different than Clintons use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News that aired Wednesday, Deborah Roberts asked Trump how she ended up in the same situation that led her father, President Donald Trump, to make the phrase “lock her up” popular.
“Well, there really is no equivalency. All of my emails that relate to any form of government work, which was mainly scheduling and logistics and managing the fact that I have a home life and a work life are all part of the public record,” Trump responded.
“Theyre all stored on the White House system, so everything has been preserved. Everything has been archived,” she added. “There is just no equivalency between the two.”
While many lawmakers and those in the media took this opportunity to highlight what they deemed hypocritical of Ivanka and her father, others pointed out the stark differences between her use and Clintons, namely that Ivankas emails were never classified information, and Clintons were.
“In my case, all of my emails are on the White House server. Theres no intent to circumvent and there were mass deletions after a subpoena was issued,” Trump said, contrasting her circumstances with Clintons. (RELATED: Trey Gowdy Sends Letter To White House For Details On Ivanka Trumps Email Use)
“My emails have not been deleted, nor was there anything of substance, nothing confidential that was within them. So theres no connection between the two things,” she added.
“Hillary Clinton is guilty. She knows it. The FBI knows it. The people know it.”
WATCH:
“… the fact is that we all have private emails and personal emails to coordinate with our family,” Trump said. “We all receive the content to those emails and theres no prohibition from using private email as long as its archived and as long as theres nothing in it thats classified.”
