Ivanka Trump is not holding back in her first post-inauguration
interview, which will air Wednesday on ' CBS This Morning.'
In a preview of her sit-down with Gayle King, Ivanka responded to
critics who have criticized her for not standing up more for women's
rights and becoming 'complicit' in aiding the agenda of her father's
administration.
'If being complicit is wanting to, is wanting to be a force for good
and to make a positive impact then I'm complicit,' Ivanka tells King.
'I don't know that the critics who may say that of me, if they found
themselves in this very unique and unprecedented situation that I am
now in, would do any differently than I am doing.'
Ivanka then adds: 'So I hope to make a positive impact. I don't know
what it means to be complicit, but you know, I hope time will prove
that I have done a good job and much more importantly that my father's
administration is the success that I know it will be.'
The rest of Ivanka's interview and more will air on 'CBS This Morning'
Wednesday.
Tuesday was perhaps the biggest, and busiest, day of King's
journalistic career on Wednesday after scoring interviews with two
first daughters.
She kicked things off in New York City with a sit-down on CBS This
Morning with Chelsea Clinton, before heading down to the nation's
capital to chat with Ivanka Trump.
King, 62, was seen pulling up in front of Ivanka's $5.5million rental
home in the fashionable Kalorama neighborhood shortly after noon with
her crew and glam squad, who made their way one-by-one through a
thorough Secret Service pat down before heading inside.
Also joining King and her five-person team was 'CBS This Morning'
senior producer Chloe Arensberg, who is based in Washington DC, and
Brian Gottlieb, a producer for the 'CBS Evening News'.
The pair arrived ahead of Gayle and her team, and they were not the
only CBS names who were seen at Ivanka's house on Tuesday.
Vice President of CBS News Christopher Isham, who like Arensberg is
based in DC, also showed up for the interview.
