Ivanka Trump flaunted her toned stomach in a tiny crop top as she enjoyed a boat ride with her family ahead of Memorial Day. Photographers caught the First Daughter, 43, spending a day out on the water in Miami on Sunday alongside her husband, Jared Kushner, and their sons Joseph, 10, and Theodore, eight. She showcased her stunning physique in a cropped, black tank top and a dark green skirt. The revealing outfit left her midriff and abs on full display. She completed the look with a pair of dark sunglasses and a tan sun hat to ensure she was protected from the strong Florida rays. The mother-of-three was spotted helping her kids fish during the boat ride. Later, she headed to the front of the boat to work on her tan alongside a topless Jared. The businessman, 44, soaked up the sun in a pair of swim shorts, a camo baseball hat and shades.

Ivanka Trump raises eyebrows as she calls father-in-law Charles Kushner 'dad' in gushing post
Weeks after she jetted off on a lavish vacation with the Kushners, Ivanka Trump has now raised eyebrows by calling her father-in-law Charles Kushner 'dad.' The First Daughter, 43, took to her Instagram and X, formerly Twitter, accounts to congratulate Charles after it was revealed that he will now serve as the US Ambassador to France on Tuesday. 'Congratulations, dad. I am proud of you,' gushed Ivanka while reposting the announcement. Many people on the web were surprised that the blonde beauty referred to her husband Jared Kushner 's father as 'dad,' and some even claimed she was 'disrespecting' her own dad, President Donald Trump. Her post was quickly flooded with replies from disgruntled fans. 'Charles is your dad?' one X user asked in response to her post. 'Please refrain from disrespecting THE most revered man on Earth aside from God - your biological Father @POTUS,' someone else wrote. 'Who the f**k calls their father-in-law dad?' questioned another person. 'Absolutely insulting to our beloved @POTUS,' a fourth tweet read, while a fifth said, '"Dad." Yikes girl.' 'He is not your dad,' added a different user. Real estate developer Charles was pardoned by Donald in December 2020 after he plead guilty to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations. He was sentenced to nearly two years in prison but only served 14 months. Late last year, Donald nominated Charles to serve as the US Ambassador to France, writing on social media at the time, 'He is a tremendous business leader, philanthropist, [and] dealmaker, who will be a strong advocate representing our country and its interests.' Ivanka has certainly been cozying up to the Kushners as of late. Last month, she, her husband, and their three kids went on a trip to Costa Rica with Jared's parents, Charles and Seryl Kushner, his brother, Joshua Kushner, and Joshua's wife, Karlie Kloss, amongst others.

Since leaving politics behind, she has enjoyed an extremely jet-set and lavish lifestyle, and she is often spotted setting out on glamorous getaways. Back in January, she spoke to The Skinny Confidential about how she plans to help her dad during his presidency. 'I'm most looking forward to just being able to show up for him as a daughter and be there for him, to take his mind off things and like watch a movie with him or watch a sports game, to know that he can be with me and be himself, and just relax,' she said. 'It's the world's loneliest position, the enormity of the decisions you're making on a daily basis, how transactional everyone is with you,' she added. 'So it's a very lonely perch.'

Senate confirms Charles Kushner as ambassador to France
Charles Kushner, the father of Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared, has secured US Senate confirmation to serve as the nation's ambassador to France. The elder Kushner's confirmation late Monday came a little more than four years after Trump, during his first presidency, pardoned him from his conviction on charges of tax evasion and other federal crimes. Cory Booker of New Jersey was the only Democratic senator to vote in support of the nomination. His vote came after Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump – his wife and the president's daughter – held a fundraiser for Booker as he successfully ran for the Senate in 2013. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska defected from her fellow Senate Republicans to vote against Charles Kushner's appointment to the French ambassadorship, though that did not impede him from being confirmed by a 51 to 45 vote. Kushner had been asked about his crimes during his confirmation hearing before the Senate foreign relations committee. He pleaded guilty in 2005 to 18 charges that includedtax evasion, retaliating against a federal witness and making false statements to the Federal Election Commission. The witness tampering charge involved his hiring a sex worker to seduce his brother-in-law, who was cooperating with federal authorities. Kushner arranged to secretly record the encounter between the sex worker and his brother-in-law and then send the footage to his sister, the other man's wife. Trump pardoned Kushner for those crimes in December 2020 after Joe Biden had defeated him in that year's election. Trump retook the White House after defeating Kamala Harris in November's election. 'My misjudgment and mistake was over 20 years ago,' Kushner said. 'Since then, I've been pardoned by President Trump. But I don't sit here before you today and tell you I'm a perfect person. I am not a perfect person. I made a very very, very serious mistake, and I paid a very heavy price for that mistake.' Kushner ultimately spent 14 months in a federal prison in Alabama and finished the remainder of his two year sentence at a halfway house in Newark, New Jersey. Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, a Republican, prosecuted Kushner at the time. Christie called Kushner's case 'one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes' he had ever prosecuted. Democratic US senator Tina Smith of Minnesota criticized the appointment and vote, stating on social media: 'There's a lot going on in the world at the moment ... and how's the Senate spending its time? We're voting on Jared Kushner's dad (a convicted felon who Trump pardoned) to be Ambassador to France, sending a billionaire convicted felon (and relative) to serve as a top diplomat.' Kushner is Trump's 10 foreign ambassador to receive confirmation by the Senate so far. Trump has also appointed daughter Tiffany Trump's father-in-law, Massad Boulos, as a senior adviser.

Live updates: Trump heading to Capitol Hill to lobby wavering Republican lawmakers
President Donald Trump plans to head to Capitol Hill on Tuesday morning to lobby House Republicans to stick together and pass his massive tax and immigration bill this week. With his in-person advocacy, Trump is seeking to tamp down dissent from GOP hard-liners who have voiced concerns that the legislation does not do enough to cut spending. The bill is central to Trump's agenda and provides a test of his clout with wavering lawmakers. House Republicans are having a huddle Tuesday on just how to get their enormous catchall bill across the finish line, and they're going to have a special guest: President Donald Trump. Former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is entering the Georgia governor's race, casting herself as a fighter who would challenge President Donald Trump and uplift the working people she said are suffering from his economic policies. The Senate confirmed Charles Kushner — the father of President Donald Trump's son-in-law and the recipient of a presidential pardon from Trump in 2020 — as the U.S. ambassador to France. The nomination passed Monday night with 51 votes to 45. Cory Booker, a senator from Kushner's home state of New Jersey, was the only Democrat to back the nomination, while Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska was the only Republican to oppose it. The Justice Department said it would charge a Democratic congresswoman whom authorities have accused of assaulting law enforcement officials during a confrontation last week outside an immigration detention center in Newark. Rep. LaMonica McIver (New Jersey) will be charged with assaulting, resisting and impeding law enforcement officers, said Alina Habba, the interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey.
