Ivanka Trump will be reviewing some of President Trump’s executive orders before they are signed, an unprecedented level of influence for the first daughter who was recently installed as a White House special assistant.
“I’m still at the early stages of learning how everything works,” she told The New York Times for a Tuesday profile, “but I know enough now to be a much more proactive voice inside the White House.”
The profile also reported that Trump has a standing weekly meeting with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and can walk into the Oval Office and speak with her father practically whenever she wants.
The first daughter has emerged as a central player within the new administration, representing the United States on a foreign trip to Germany, helping quash an executive order that would have rescinded workplace protections for LGBT people and sitting in on high-level government meetings held by her father.
