Ivanka Trump Breaks Silence On Dads Legal Problems In New Interview

Ivanka Trump  broke her silence this week on the legal problems facing her father, Donald Trump , including his conviction  on 34 felony charges in the Stormy Daniels hush money case.  

On a human level, its my father, and I love him very much, so its painful to experience, she told podcaster Lex Fridman . But ultimately, I wish it didnt have to be this way.

Unlike brothers Don Jr . and Eric,  Ivanka Trump didnt attend her fathers trial and has said little about his ongoing legal cases. In May, after the former president was convicted in New York, she posted a childhood pic of herself with him and the phrase I love you dad. 

While she was a fixture in the White House and on the campaign trail for her father in the past, Ivanka Trump said in 2022 that shes not planning to return to politics  but will instead prioritize her children and her family.

She told Fridman she made the decision as a parent because politics is a rough, rough business. 

She added, Politics is a pretty dark world. Theres a lot of darkness, a lot of negativity, and its just really at odds with what feels good for me as a human being.
