Fathers administration. Jeff zeleny is outfront in new york. We learned ivanka trump, Jared Kushner are going to move To Washington. Now, thats a pretty stunning thing, right, if you think about the fact ivanka trump said she will have no role in her fathers administration. This is a clear signal shes going to be right by her fathers side. Maybe she doesnt have a technical title. Shes staying in her job at the Trump Organization. What can you tell us . Reporter something they have to work out and sort through. Theyve already had missteps here in the first month of this Transition Meeting with the world leader, the first meeting that her father had with the Prime Minister of japan, and, but erin, its clear that they are still trying to sort through this. The american presidency is not simply set up for a family like this so theyre going to be making the rules as they go along, but we are told they are planning to move To Washington. Theyre looking for houses there at the very least. She
washington, supposed to be running the trump organization based in trump tower, not supposed to have a role in the administration because of nepotism rules nor is her husband for the same reason. why are you moving to washington? the only reason you re moving to washington is to leverage that influence. you shouldn t be leveraging that influence the same time you re running the trump organization. she s leveraging it with meetings like al gore. look, people can change. once people get in power, people who hated them then change their minds. i understand the pragmatic reality. here s al gore today. here s al gore a few months ago. i had a lengthy and very productive session with the president-elect. it was a sincere search for areas of common ground. her opponent based on the ideas that he has presented would take us toward a climate catastrophe. and? i mean, okay, you know what, climate catastrophe, common ground, those things can be very
