In light of her father’s federal indictment last week, Ivanka Trump, daughter of former President Donald Trump, broke her Twitter silence on Sunday.

However, he is currently facing 37 federal charges for allegedly mishandling classified documents that he allegedly took with him when he left the White House in January 2021.
The former president allegedly transported the private documents to Mar-a-Lago in Florida and thwarted government efforts to restore them to the National Archives and Records Administration, according to the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) investigation (NARA).
In the meantime, Trump has maintained his innocence throughout the DOJ investigation and on Tuesday entered a not guilty plea to the allegations in a federal courtroom in Miami.
Ivanka posted her first tweet following her father’s indictment on federal charges on Sunday afternoon to wish her husband Jared Kushner a Happy Father’s Day.”Jared, the kids and I congratulate you today and every day for being such a wonderful parent and partner. We are grateful for all the ways you provide us happiness, wisdom, and unending love,” she composed.

Robert Collins, a political expert and professor at Dillard University, said in an interview with Newsweek on Sunday that it may be hurtful” if Ivanka doesn’t directly address her father’s criminal charge.
It is usually advantageous for the defendant in any criminal prosecution involving a politician to be able to show family support.
It enhances their reputation among voters and possible jurors. Ivanka’s silence is therefore cruel, Collins declared.
Yet, “I think they are more concerned on making sure their own legal matters [are] in line than they are with her father’s legal difficulties because Ivanka and her husband might be under scrutiny shortly for their contacts with Saudi Arabia.”
Kushner’s connections to Saudi Arabia have lately been under increased investigation after The Washington Post reported in February that $2 billion from a sovereign wealth fund headed by the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was given to Kushner’s Affinity Fund.
In comparison to past administrations, the Trump administration developed tighter ties with the Middle Eastern nation, which frequently drew criticism owing to a variety of Saudi Arabia-related scandals.
