Ivanka Trump made $1.5 million from her role at the Trump Organization last year, McClatchy reported Tuesday, raising concerns about conflicts of interests with her role as a White House advisor.
International projects involving the company include a Chinese government contract to build a road at a Trump development in Dubai and a plan by another contractor partly owned by the Saudi government to build a Trump development in that country.
The nonpartisan ethics group Common Cause has launched a petition calling for Trump and her husband Jared Kushner to divest their assets, establish a blind trust or recuse themselves from their government work.
“We deserve public servants who serve only the public; we can’t trust government officials’ decisions if their wealth is involved,” the group said in a statement.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
