A Republican senator has requested information from the White House regarding Ivanka Trump’s use of a personal email account for official government business.
Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, tweeted on Tuesday night that he has sent a letter to the White House asking for a briefing on the issue.
The development came as House Democrats said earlier Tuesday that they plan to probe Ivanka’s email issue in an attempt to determine whether she violated federal records laws.
“We plan to continue our investigation of the presidential records act and federal records act, and we want to know if Ivanka complied with the law,” a Democratic aide on the House Oversight Committee told The Post on Tuesday.
White House ethics officials found Ivanka, who is an adviser to President Trump, conducted business via her personal email address for much of 2017, The Washington Post reported.
Emails regarding official White House business are required to be preserved under the presidential records act.
