Graham: ‘I’m glad’ Ivanka will be working in the White House

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Saturday at a town hall that he is “glad” President Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump is getting an office in the White House.

“He’s got his daughter in law, no, excuse me, his daughter, working in the White House — I don’t know about you, but I’m glad she’s there,” Graham said, “because I think she’s a pretty smart lady.”

The statement from Graham, a frequent critic of the president, comes after reports this week that Ivanka Trump would get an office in the White House but is not assuming an official role.

Ivanka’s husband, Jared Kushner, has served as a top adviser to President Trump at the White House.
