Ivanka Trump has broken her silence on her father’s criminal indictment, saying that she is “pained” for both her parent and her country.

Donald Trump’s daughter finally released a brief statement on Instagram just before midday ET on Friday, around 18 hours after a grand jury voted to indict the former president on criminal charges over the 2016 hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.

“I love my father and I love my country. Today I am pained for both,” she wrote. Ivanka Trump’s statement comes after her father was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury, becoming the first former US president to face criminal charges.

“I appreciate the voices across the political spectrum expressing support and concern.”

Ivanka Trump worked as a top adviser in her father’s White House. In 2022, she said that she did “not plan to be involved in politics” and that she was choosing to prioritize her young children and the private life they were creating as a family.

While she will always love and support her father, she said that going forward, she will do so outside the political arena. Ivanka Trump has also distanced herself from her father’s unfounded claims of mass voter fraud.

Donald Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury after a probe into hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels. The specific charges are not yet known, as the indictment remains under seal.

Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud, according to CNN. He has said that he is “completely innocent” and indicated that he would not drop out of the 2024 presidential race.
