[WATCH] Melania’s Former Advisor Says Ivanka Is ‘In Trouble’ Whether Or Not She Complies With Jan 6th Committee

A former close friend of Melania Trump who worked on the 2017 inauguration and as a senior advisor to the former First Lady’s says Ivanka Trump will “get herself in more trouble” as the January 6th Select Committee probes her actions from that day in relation to her role as her father’s White House senior advisor.

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff appeared on CNN’s “New Day” on Monday and told host John Berman that while Ivanka’s always enjoyed a legendary amount of special treatment and leniency due to her status, it won’t help her when it comes to fighting her very real legal battles.

Trump had recently whined to right-wing website the Washington Examiner, “It’s a very unfair situation for my children. Very, very unfair.” Infantilizing the same daughter he sexualized as a child is a typical Trump take, but it won’t work this time, says Winston Wolkoff. “Ivanka and his children have always played a large part in the falsification and fabrication of everything going on around Donald,” she said.

"You can't have it both ways, and this time, unfortunately, it's going to catch up to them," says former Melania Trump adviser @SWinstonWolkoff after former President Trump criticized the January 6 committee for "going after children" for asking Ivanka Trump to speak with them. pic.twitter.com/4Fl6Pwddmk

“Do you think if she speaks to them voluntarily she will help her cause or get herself in more trouble?” Berman asked.

“I think Ivanka will get herself in more trouble regardless of whether she speaks or not,” Winston Wolkoff replied. “She doesn’t seem to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, whether under deposition or not. Either way, she is not turning against her father and her father is definitely not going to take the blame for Ivanka.”
