Ivanka Trump’s political re-emergence would likely center on criminal justice reform work: report

'It would not be surprising if it’s among the causes she champions in her next chapter,' a source said

Ivanka Trump helped secure pardons and commutations for over 140 people in her father’s final days in office, and she could champion criminal justice reform in a new foray into politics. 

"It would not be surprising if it’s among the causes she champions in her next chapter," a source close to former President Trump’s oldest daughter told Axios.

Trump made headlines for the 11th-hour pardons, which included some people convicted of nonviolent offenses and certain allies of the president, such as Steve Bannon and Charles Kushner, Ivanka’s father-in-law.

Sources say that both Ivanka and Jared Kushner aggressively lobbied their father as he made his final decisions of who to grant clemency.

They say she attended Oval Office meetings and made calls from the West Wing, staying at the White House until 8:30 p.m. on the eve of President Biden’s inauguration to cobble together the final list of pardons and commutations.

The list was released after 1 a.m. on Inauguration Day. On that day, Ivanka spent hours calling the families of those for whom she advocated.
