First daughter and presidential adviser Ivanka Trump ignored impeachment questions from CNN’s Jim Acosta when he approached her in Davos.
Trump, who traveled with President Donald Trump to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, was on hand to promote the Pledge to America’s Workers and “wage growth and job creation in the United States.” (RELATED: ‘God Bless All Our Heroes In Uniform’: Ivanka Trump Touts Marines Defending US Embassies)

Acosta also noted that other White House officials had given him similar responses with regard to the impeachment trial.
Much of the same from cabinet secretaries and other top WH aides at forum. Up until now they’ve been keeping clear of impeachment questions. https://t.co/hcll9zScUG

Donald Trump Jr. responded by attacking Acosta, calling him “one of the most dishonest reporters in all of Washington.”
Why should she give a comment to one of the most dishonest reporters in all of Washington??? https://t.co/YYmD30WL5P
