Elko Daily FrEE PrEss Wednesday, March 22, 2017 B3 1 NEWS OF RECORD CATHERINE LUCEY Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) Cementing her role as a powerful White House in- fluence, Ivanka Trump is working out of a West Wing office and will get access to classified information, though she is not techni- cally serving as a govern- ment employee, according to an attorney for the first daughter. Since President Don- ald Trump took office, his eldest daughter has been a visible presence in the White House, where her husband, Jared Kushner, already serves as a senior adviser. On Friday, she participated in a meeting on vocational training with the president and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Jamie Gorelick, an attor- ney and ethics adviser for Ivanka Trump, said Mon- day that the first daughter will not have an official ti- tle, but will get a West Wing office, government-issued communications devices and security clearance to access classified informa- tion. Gorelick said Ivanka Trump would follow the ethics rules that apply to government employees.

view is that the conservative approach is for Ivanka to voluntarily comply with the rules that would apply if she were a government employee, even though she is said Gorelick, who also helped Kushner with the legal strategy that led to his White House appointment. White House Coun- Office agrees with that Ivanka role has already come under scru- tiny because there is little precedent for a member of the first family with this kind of influence. The White House did not imme- diately respond to a request for comment. A person with knowledge of Ivanka thinking, who requested anonymity to discuss private conversa- tions, said she believes she can offer more independent perspective to her father by not serving as a White House staffer. A popular surrogate for her father on the campaign trail, Ivanka Trump moved her young family to Wash- ington at the start of the administration and signaled plans to work on economic issues, like maternity leave and child care.

In a state- ment, she said: will con- tinue to offer my father my candid advice and counsel, as I have for my entire Federal anti-nepotism laws prevent relatives from being appointed to govern- ment positions. But the Jus- tice Office of Legal Counsel recently said the hir- ing allowed him to appoint Kushner to the West Wing staff. Gorelick noted the office also made clear that the president could consult family mem- bers as private citizens, arguing that this is what Ivanka Trump will be doing.

A bet between two Las Vegas casino owners will cost one of them $1 million if Michigan wins the NCAA basketball tourna- ment.
