Ivanka Trump is speaking out publicly for the first time since her father, former President Trump, was found guilty of all 34 counts in his hush money criminal case.
The 42-year-old daughter of the ex-commander in chief, who served as his senior adviser in the White House, posted an Instagram Story on Thursday.
“I love you dad,” the message said, with a throwback photo of Trump’s eldest daughter as a toddler posing with her father.
Ivanka Trump’s nod to her dad came shortly after he became the first former president to be convicted of a felony. Jurors in New York City on Thursday found him guilty of falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment his then-fixer, Michael Cohen, made to adult film actor Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
The former fashion brand executive has kept a relatively low profile since her father exited the White House. In 2022, after moving from Washington to Florida, she said she was “choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family.”
“I do not plan to be involved in politics,” she said at the time.
Her older brother, Donald Trump, Jr., had a different reaction to their father’s guilty verdict.
“Such bull—-,” he wrote on X.
