Newly announced assistant to the president, Ivanka Trump, defended herself in an interview Tuesday from critics who have said she is “complicit” in her father’s conservative agenda.
“If being complicit is wanting to, is wanting to be a force for good and to make a positive impact then I’m complicit,” Trump told “CBS This Morning” in a clip set to air Wednesday. “I don’t know that the critics who may say that of me, if they found themselves in this very unique and unprecedented situation that I am now in, would do any differently than I am doing.”
“So I hope to make a positive impact. I don’t know what it means to be complicit, but you know, I hope time will prove that I have done a good job and much more importantly that my father’s administration is the success that I know it will be,” Trump added.
Trump and husband Jared Kushner, a fellow senior adviser, moved to Washington during the transition period and have become permanent additions to the White House.
