Ivanka turns on daddy but she's just a Trump looking out for No 1 as ... (The Guardian)

The ex-White House adviser told the January 6 panel she didn't believe her father's election fraud claim – get ready for the Javanka rehabilitation tour!

A guy called Robert Brantley was driving along the road in Louisiana on Tuesday when he stopped to rescue a stray kitten. Ivanka and Jared could have chosen to publicly denounce Trump’s claims about the election being stolen in the immediate aftermath of the election. Expect to see a growing amount of favourable coverage about the pair; expect to see stories peppered with anonymous quotes about how Javanka spent the Trump presidency trying to do the right thing; how they desperately tried to stop the former president from disseminating the big lie. And, as ex-Trump official Stephanie Grisham said about Ivanka on CNN: “If she was truly that impacted by Bill Barr ... perhaps she could’ve done a little bit more and not stood by [Trump’s] side while he publicly pushed the Big Lie.” Indeed. Remember, ladies, never leave the house without a male chaperone otherwise you’re asking for bad things to happen. If Ivanka really had accepted Barr’s statements about the election being stolen why did she tweet about “American Patriots” when the Capitol was being stormed? In recent months Trump seems to have lost his kingmaker status and his grip on the GOP: a number of candidates he’s endorsed have been soundly defeated in their races. Now that it seems unlikely Trump is going to be able to make any sort of political comeback, now that he is no longer of much use to Jared and Ivanka, expect the Great Javanka Rehabilitation tour of 2022 to come to a media outlet near you very soon. On Friday the former president logged on to Truth Social, his disaster of a social media platform, and published a number of posts railing against Bill Barr. He also had some choice words about his daughter. “She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!)” The writing has been on the wall for a while now, but it seems Ivanka Trump finally did it: she turned against her daddy. In a video deposition that was shown during the first hearing of the panel, Ivanka states that she accepted the explanations of the then attorney general, Bill Barr, to Donald Trump that there wasn’t any evidence of voter fraud, and he’d lost the election fair and square.

Is Melania behind daddy-daughter feud between Ivanka and Trump ... (MEAWW)

'Ivanka had been iced by Melania despite living almost around the corner from each other in Florida,' an insider revealed.

The Washington Post book portrayed the Trump family dynamic and the competition between Melania and Ivanka in the early days of Donald Trump's administration. When she and Barron finally moved in, she put an end to the ‘revolving door’ by enforcing firm boundaries.” White House spokeswoman Judd Deere has refuted the book's assertions, saying, "this is totally false.” Furthermore, he accused the media of disseminating "untrue information" from anonymous sources without first consulting with the White House or the US President's counsel. "As First Lady, Melania felt Ivanka was trying to take her place," a source told Radar during the administration. Melania and Ivanka not only dislike one other, with Ivanka's mother-in-law referring to Ivanka as a "snake." While there had been speculation of a feud between the former president's wife and his one-time White House special advisor, the real scope of the family's feud was not revealed until Friday, 20 June. During the first primetime session of lawmakers probing the January 6 Capitol disturbance, Ivanka claimed she "accepted" that former Attorney General Bill Barr had discovered no proof of fraud that might overturn the 2020 election, despite her father's frequent claims. Melania believed her step-daughter would do "what it takes" to accomplish what she desired, including undermining the first lady by "poaching" staff members and rendering her "irrelevant." According to Wolkoff, Melania was so enraged that she referred to Ivanka and her supporters as "snakes." He further added, “She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!).” RadarOnline.com reported that Ivanka Trump had been advised to stay away from her father and hadn't been seen with him in over 521 days.

Ivanka Trump's Jan. 6 testimony exposes family strain (Newsday)

Former President Donald Trump has demanded that many of his aides and advisers claim privilege and resist subpoenas from the House select committee ...

In another sign of the couple's uneasy independence, they have in the past shown a rare willingness among Trump insiders to cooperate with investigators. "They could float in and out when they wanted to, while the rest of everybody else didn't have that luxury," the former White House official said. The aim of his statement, the former adviser said, was to emphasize that Ivanka Trump wasn't involved in legal discussions. At the end, they knew they weren't going to change his mind, so why be party to a bunch of this stuff?" "The Ivanka Trump clip has gotten a lot of attention, but its inclusion was entirely gratuitous and clearly meant simply to embarrass her," National Review's editor-in-chief, Rich Lowry, said on Twitter. As the couple sidestepped anti-nepotism rules to take White House jobs, Ivanka Trump initially presented herself as a moderating force. Ivanka Trump has long participated in her father's business ventures, including a New York condominium project that recently drew prosecutors' scrutiny but no charges, and the Washington hotel at the center of multiple conflict-of-interest investigations and lawsuits during his presidency. A onetime Democrat who supported gay rights and abortion rights, she later announced that she became a "Trump Republican" and opposed abortion, prompting speculation about her own political ambitions. Before Jan. 6, Ivanka Trump broke with her father and siblings in avoiding baseless fraud allegations and attempts to overturn the election results. "It affected my perspective," Ivanka Trump said in the clip. The clip made for one of the most dramatic moments in the first hearing, which drew a television audience of almost 19 million Americans. "Ivanka Trump was not involved in looking at, or studying, Election results," Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.

Is the Donald-Ivanka Relationship Fracturing? (Patheos)

Ivanka is former U.S. President Donald Trump's only daughter from his first marriage, which was to former Czech-American model and businesswoman Ivana.

It has been reported by the media, based on interviews with people who supposedly knew first hand, that both Jared and Ivanka Kushner began to separate from the Trump administration about two days after the election and therefore prior to Biden being declared by the media as the winner, which occurred one day later. Barr said in his testimony to investigators that about one month after the 2020 election that, after he had thoroughly investigated whether or not the election had been fraudulent, he told President Tump that it had been a fair election and that there was not enough evidence of fraud to have produced a different result other than Joe Biden winning. Much of the committee’s presentation had been reported previously in the media, but this testimony by Ivanka to investigators had never been reported before. She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as Attorney General (he sucked!).” Donald Trump is well known for having a weird habit of sometimes speaking of himself in the third person. But I thought the biggest highlight of this first committee hearing was a very brief video clip featuring Ivanka. She said of Attorney General Barr’s assessment that Mr. Biden had won a fair election, “It affected my perspective. I thought the second most important testimony delivered during the evening was that of Trump’s Attorney General William Barr given to investigators months after the Capitol riot.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — In testimony to the congressional investigation of the deadly Jan. 6, 2021 riots, Donald Trump's Jewish daughter and son-in-law made ...

Its overarching theme was that the Jan. 6 riot was not spontaneous but the culmination of months of plotting by Trump and those close to him. The statements made public confirm reports that Kushner and Ivanka Trump had distanced themselves from Trump since the election. Much of its focus was on the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, far-right groups with members who have been indicted for their roles in the riots. But Ivanka Trump continued to publicly back her father’s efforts to overturn the election through the courts. She had long since checked out and was, in my opinion, only trying to be respectful to Bill Barr and his position as attorney general (he sucked!)” “Like I said,” Kushner said, “my interest at that time was on trying to get as many pardons done.
