Ivanka Trump says she believes her father’s denials of sexual misconduct, arguing that questions to her on the topic are “pretty inappropriate.”
Trump serves as a senior adviser in US President Donald Trump’s administration and just led the US delegation at the closing ceremony for the 2018 Pyeongchang Games. She makes the comments in an interview with NBC that aired today.
Asked about the allegations of inappropriate behavior against the president, Ivanka Trump says, “I think it’s a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter if she believes the accusers of her father when he’s affirmatively stated there’s no truth to it.”
“I believe my father, I know my father,” she says. “I think I have that right as a daughter, to believe my father.”
The president has denied accusations of misconduct.
