WASHINGTON — The president’s daughter and White House adviser, Ivanka Trump, said her use of a personal email account for government business was not the same as Hillary Clinton’s using a private email server, which the president and his supporters had long argued was illegal.

“There really is no equivalency,” Ms. Trump told ABC News in an interview that aired Wednesday in a defense that echoed what her father said earlier this month. Ms. Trump was asked if she should be locked up in prison as her father and his supporters chant about Ms. Clinton. “No,” Ms. Trump replied.

“People who want to see it as the same, see it as the same,” Ms. Trump said of the immediate comparisons drawn between the two women.

A recent White House review found that Ms. Trump used a personal email account multiple times in 2017 to conduct government business, a disclosure that immediately energized Democrats still angry over the 2016 presidential election, when Mrs. Clinton lost to Mr. Trump. One of the dominant issues of that campaign was the investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s use of a private server while she was secretary of state.
