Jackie Alemany: W.H. Officials Were ‘Alarmed’ over Ivanka’s Private Email Use
EXCERPT:
ALEMANY: “Yeah, well, my colleagues did some fabulous reporting on this. They reported that officials inside the White House were alarmed when they realized that Ivanka had sent hundreds of e-mails from a personal server and then claimed that she hadn’t been briefed on the rules. But, you know, we did actually see last year that there were some stories leaked about Jared Kushner, Ivanka's husband, and also Trump White House staffer using personal e-mail to respond to government officials. There was that practical joke that was played on him, someone e-mailing him acting as Tom Bossert and Jared responded, you know, thinking that under the pretenses that it was Bossert when it turned out to actually not be him. So I do think that this might open up a litany of potential minefields for this White House, but this really shouldn’t come as a surprise. This White House hasn’t really been following processes or rules all that closely, you know.”
