Ivanka Trump and her husband volunteered but earned up to $ 640 million in four years

WASHINGTON.- U.S. government watchdog discovered Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner reported up to $ 640 million in outside income while they worked in the White House as advisers to former President Donald Trump.

The former president’s son-in-law and daughter would have earned between $ 172 million and $ 640 million, according to financial information analyzed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).

They both worked ad honorem in public administration and had also withdrawn from the day-to-day operations of their companies, so the extraordinary incomes sounded alarm bells in both Congress and ethics groups.
