First daughter Ivanka Trump briefed South Koreas president on new North Korea sanctions her father imposed on Fridaydespite reportedly lacking permanent security clearance typically required to access classified information.
The first daughter was informed of the President Donald Trumps sanctions targeting North Korea's shipping and trading companies and vessels before meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin according to CNN.
"She has been part of the team. She had dinner with President Moon and had a private discussion in advance about this occurring and this has been an interagency process," Mnuchin said.
But asked if she had the appropriate security clearance in order to carry out such a task, Mnuchin dodged the core of the question. She has the appropriate access to brief the president," he said.

And if Chelsea Clinton or either Obama sister did the same thing (which they're all infinitely more qualified for), the Pukes would have exploded.
