President Donald Trump's powerful daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner ignored federal recommendations during the coronavirus lockdown so they could travel for Passover celebrations, the White House has confirmed.

They went from their home in Washington, DC, to one of the Trump family's golf resorts in Bedminster, New Jersey, to mark the Jewish holiday, which began April 8 and ends Thursday.

“Ivanka — with her immediate family — celebrated Passover at a closed down facility considered to be a family home. Her travel was no different than if had she been travelling to/from work and the location was less populated than the surrounding area near her home in DC,” a statement said.
