“I have heard the concerns some have with my advising the president in my personal capacity while voluntarily complying with all ethics rules, and I will instead serve as an unpaid employee in the White House Office, subject to all of the same rules as other federal employees,” Ivanka Trump said in a statement issued by the White House.
She has been an increasingly influential adviser to the President and her husband, Jared Kushner, is a powerful Trump adviser.
An unsigned statement from the White House said: "We are pleased that Ivanka Trump has chosen to take this step in her unprecedented role as first daughter and in support of the President."
Ivanka Marie Trump, born in 1981, is an American businesswoman, socialite, author, and fashion model. She is the daughter of U.S. President Donald Trump and his first wife, former model Ivana Trump.
She has been an Executive Vice President of her father's company - The Trump Organization - as well as serving as a boardroom advisor on her father's TV show The Apprentice. She moved to Washington DC in 2017 as her husband, Jared Kushner, was appointed as a Senior Advisor to the US President by her father./.
