When she moved to Washington earlier this year, Ms Trump said she would not be playing a formal role in the administration. Her husband, Jared Kushner, is a senior adviser² to President Donald Trump.

 

However, it was confirmed on Monday that the first daughter now has a West Wing office next to senior adviser Dina Powell, who serves on the National Security Council, will get access to classified information and be given security clearance³.

 

Ms Trump has been a very visible presence during Mr Trump's first two months in the White House, participating in meetings with Shinzo Abe, the Japanese prime minister, Justin Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister, and, on Friday, Angela Merkel, the German chancellor⁴.

 

Her regular presence has raised eyebrows⁵ because she has no official position.

 

Jamie Gorelick, a lawyer and ethics⁶ adviser for Ms Trump, detailed⁷ her new privileges and said she would follow the ethics rules that apply to government employees.
