Ivanka Trump breaks silence on father's indictment: 'I love my father and I love my country'
Former President Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, has broken her silence on her father's indictment.
On Friday, the businesswoman-turned-counsellor shared a statement on her Instagram story, saying "I love my dad and I love my country. Today I have worth it for both."< /p>
"I appreciate the voices from all political walks of life expressing their support and concern," she added.
Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner also shared those thoughts, saying the indictment obtained by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was "very unprecedented" and "very disturbing".
"I think it shows, obviously, the fear that Democrats have of Trump and the political strength that he has," the New York Post quoted him as saying.
Earlier, People reported that Ivanka has kept her distance from her father and his campaign.
"Although Ivanka loves her father, she knows how impossible he can be," the magazine quotes an unnamed source.
Another source told the magazine that there is no personal conflict between father and daughter.

"Donald does what he wants, and she can't help him now. His help is in the hands of his lawyers and advisers," the source said. "She no longer works in that capacity."
Last month, a Manhattan grand jury indicted Trump for his alleged role in a silent $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels as Trump's attorney Michael Cohen had shed shortly before the 2016 presidential election.
Last week, Trump warned of potential "death and destruction" if he faced criminal charges in the investigation into the payment of the secret money. He attacked Bragg and other state and federal prosecutors investigating him in Washington, D.C. and Georgia.
GOP politicians also took to social media to express their anger after reports indicated that Trump would be arraigned on Tuesday.
The former president is expected to fly to New York on Monday and spend the night at Trump Tower before his scheduled arraignment on Tuesday, reports the Associated Press.
