Blumenthal added that there is no way Ivanka Trump was unaware private email use would violate records rules despite her claims to the contrary.
Addressing the report, Peter Mirijanian, the spokesperson for Trump's ethics lawyer Abbe Lowell, called it a misinformation, stressing that the situation has nothing in common with the Hillary Clinton email scandal that occurred in 2016.
"…she did not create a private server in her house or office, there was never classified information transmitted, the account was never transferred or housed at Trump Organization, no emails were ever deleted, and the emails have been retained in the official account in conformity with records preservation laws and rules," Mirijanian said.

The agency reported that a substantial part of her correspondences contained classified information.
