Ivanka visited a school district in Idaho with Apple CEO Tim Cook to promote STEM education. While Ivanka certainly took plenty of cute pictures with kids, she didn't allow any questions from the sole local paper that was allowed to observe her visit.
It's also of note that Ivanka has interestingly started Capitalizing Random Words — just like her dad, President Donald Trump. Is it by accident? Or is it to make what she's writing seem more legitimate than it actually is?

• ABC released an interview with Ivanka in which she defended her use of private email, saying her situation is totally different than Hillary Clinton's use of private email (although it's exactly the same!). "There's no equivalency to what my father's spoken about," Ivanka told ABC News, adding that her father's "lock her up!" chant could never apply to her, too. Of course not!
• Ivanka was present for the signing of the Women's Economic Empowerment Act by the committee.
• Ivanka congratulated her husband, Jared Kushner, for being awarded the Order of the Aztec Eagle by Mexico. Cute!
