A Democratic Aide said on Tuesday that the House Oversight Committee is Planning "to continue our investigation of the presidential records act and federal records act, and we want to know if Ivanka complied with the law."
The President's Daughter, Ivanka Trump, and White House Aide, had used her Personal Email Account last year to Correspond with White House Staffers, her Assistants, and Cabinet Officials, in potential Violation of Federal Records Law.
The Democratic Aide noted that the Committee had started a Bipartisan Investigation last year on whether White House Officials were in Compliance with the Presidential Records Act under then-Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who has since Retired from Congress. That probe has since been Dropped.
Representatives for U.S. Representative Elijah Cummings, the Top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said the Panel would Investigate White House Communications when Democrats take over the U.S. House of Representatives in January 2019.
Peter Mirijanian, a Spokesman for Ivanka Trump’s Ethics Lawyer, Abbe Lowell, said Ivanka Trump turned over All her Government-related Emails so they could be Stored with other White House Records. The Emails came to light when White House Officials began Reviewing them in Response to a Lawsuit from Watchdog group American Oversight and Ivanka used the Personal Account for Official Business around 100 times in 2017.
The White House began Reviewing Senior Aides’ Email use last year after Reports that Ivanka Trump’s Husband Jared Kushner, also a top White House Adviser, used Private Email for Government Work and five other White House Advisers
U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), on the Senate Judiciary Panel, said there was “no way” Ivanka Trump did Not know the Rules after the 2016 Campaign and that there were Larger Questions about the Trump Family’s mixing of Private Enterprise and Government Duties. “It raises the issue of whether there has been anything improper. There should be some kind of investigation,” either by Congress or the White House Ethics Office, Blumenthal said.
