Ivanka Trump is trending on Twitter amid a bombshell new reveal.
A new report suggests that she reportedly provided false testimony under oath while speaking in a December 2020 deposition about the misuse of 2017 Inauguration funds.
A probe was launched last year by the Attorney General that they “misused charitable funds to enrich the Trump family.”
The Attorney General said, “that the Inaugural Committee, a nonprofit corporation, coordinated with the Trump family to grossly overpay for event space in the Trump International Hotel… The Committee also improperly used non-profit funds to throw a private party [at the Trump Hotel] for the Trump family costing several hundred thousand dollars.”

During a December 2020 deposition, Ivanka was allegedly asked if she had “involvement in the process of planning the inauguration.” According to Mother Jones, who reportedly have the court documents, she responded. “I really didn’t have an involvement.” She also said if her “opinion was solicited” with regards to an inauguration event, she “would give feedback to my father or to anyone who asked my perspective or opinion.”
However, new emails suggest a different story.
One email between Rick Gates, former Chairman of the Presidential Inauguration Committee (known as the PIC), wrote to her that a producer “is going to call you to discuss some additional ideas she has about some other events that we would like to see if you would be willing to do based on our meetings.” Ivanka responded, “Great. I am looping in my assistant Suzie who can coordinate a time for us to connect.” This email is dated November 29, 2016.
Another email from Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a lead producer working with the PIC, was addressed to Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner.
In the email, Stephanie provided the couple with a “high-level summary” of the inauguration plans “for your review.” The review included events and themes created for the inauguration, and also asked if she would host a women’s reception.
Jared allegedly first responded, writing, “Thanks, Stephanie – looks like it’s going to be a special event! So glad you are involved!” Ivanka allegedly responded next, writing, “As mentioned, my interest in hosting [the dinner or reception for women entrepreneurs] depends on the quality and theme of the event.” She added, “I would love to bring together an incredible group of female entrepreneurs and thought leaders and integrate young girls in the programing. If we can make it an impactful event, I would love to do it.”
Other reports from Mother Jones include that Ivanka requested a ton of reporters and media at one important event an input into which talent would be involved in the inauguration.
Mother Jones reported, “On December 23, Jon Reynaga, a producer working on the event, emailed Gates and Sara Armstrong, a top PIC official, with a list of musical artists being booked for inauguration events. ‘They are all somewhat known acts but non-are A-listers,’ he observed. (The roster included Fantasia, a female soul singer, Big and Rich, a country act, and Katharine McPhee, an American Idol runner-up.) Armstrong replied, ‘Well I’m worried this gets into the lower level that Ivanka didn’t want.’”
Stephanie was asked during her deposition about an alleged text she sent saying she “DID NOT APPROVE THE BEACH BOYS and he [Trump] nor Ivanka want them.” During Ivanka‘s deposition, she said “I don’t recall that. I love the Beach Boys.””
In her deposition, Stephanie herself said, “it would look [that] members of the Trump family or the Trump Organization or the Trump Hotel financially profited from the inauguration.”
This is the second report in just a few days about Ivanka that has blown up.
All of the emails can be seen over at Mother Jones.
