Accuracy in Media

Mainstream media is accusing Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, the daughter and son-in-law of President Donald Trump, of abusing their unpaid White House advisory positions by using private e-mail accounts. Specifically, the media claims that the pair is acting like Hillary Clinton in using private e-mail accounts.

Specifically, the media has said the pair is acting like Hillary Clinton in using private e-mail accounts.

However, the media is missing several key points about what Clinton did and what Trump and Kushner didn’t do, as The Federalist’s David Harsanyi points out:

1. Hillary Clinton was an appointed and paid public servant as an Obama cabinet secretary of state; Ivanka and Jared are unpaid advisors
2. Hillary Clinton used a private e-mail server, not just a private e-mail account
3. Hillary Clinton sent classified information over an unsecured e-mail server
4. Hillary Clinton lied on television about the scandal itself
5. Hillary Clinton was warned about her conduct and how it breaks the law by records officials at the State Department
