WASHINGTON _ Ivanka Trump says Tuesday's announcement that House Democrats will bring articles of impeachment against her father was "a predetermined outcome" and she is keeping her focus on advancing the White House agenda, which includes securing a vote on a trade deal with Mexico and Canada.
Within minutes of Democrats revealing two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump _ abuse of power and obstruction of Congress _ House Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a news conference about House Democrats reaching a compromise with the White House on the trade deal.
"Do you think that's a coincidence?" the president's daughter said in an interview with McClatchy about the back-to-back announcements. "We focus on that which we can control. This was a predetermined outcome for the Democrats. What we can control is the work we're doing to advance the American people's agenda, creating jobs, creating a climate for growth, and that's where our energies are focused," she said.
