Ivanka Trump, in her capacity as a White House adviser, used a personal account to send hundreds of emails to other government officials last year, her attorney acknowledged Monday.
Her email habits, which might have violated federal records rules, are noteworthy since her father spent much of his 2016 campaign calling for the imprisonment of Hillary Clinton because she used a personal email account to conduct official business while secretary of state.
Peter Mirijanian, a spokesman for Ivanka Trump's attorney Abbe Lowell, confirmed her private email usage but maintained that she had committed no wrongdoing.
"Like most people, before entering into government service, Ms. Trump used a private email," Mirijanian said. "While transitioning into government, until the White House provided her the same guidance they had to others who started before she did, Ms. Trump sometimes used her private account, almost always for logistics and scheduling concerning her family."
The Washington Post first reported Ivanka Trump's email usage.
