Trump: I’d ‘never, ever’ see Ivanka if it was up to some people

President-elect Donald Trump said that if some people had their way, he would “never, ever” see his daughter, according to a tweet by New York Times reporter Mike Grynbaum.

“If it were up to some people, I would never, ever see my daughter Ivanka again,” Trump reportedly told Times editors and reporters when asked about potential conflicts of interest in his administration.

Grynbaum quoted Trump making these remarks at his meeting with the newspaper's editorial staff on Tuesday.

Trump has come under fire from critics over his potential conflicts of interest, be it through his business empire or his family’s involvement in his incoming administration.

Three of Trump’s children, Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka, were named members of his presidential transition team, and Jared Kushner, Ivanka’s husband, is said to be weighing a role in the White House.
