At about 8:15 am on December 5, Ivanka Trump walked into Indiana state women's prison in dark blue dress, high heels, and a dignified expression.

Ivanka received no salary as a White House adviser and was regularly scrutinized for being the daughter of US President Donald Trump. This seems to be the reason most of her business trips use commercial aircraft, such as a visit to a heavily protected women's prison, about 1.5 km from downtown Indianapolis, Indiana.

Meanwhile in the capital Washington, Trump is fighting for his political career amid "storm" of impeachment investigations. When his daughter greeted prisoners and staff at the detention center, the US president busy tweeted to attack Democrats and sought to cope with the risk of appearing in the Senate trial.

However, no matter what is happening with Trump at the White House, Ivanka seems to be working hard to operate in a separate "political space" and effectively support her father. In a brief interview at the women's prison, Ivanka said she was "as focused as ever".

"We only have a limited amount of time to act as much as possible for the benefit of the people in this country. So we focus on what really matters to Americans," Ivanka said. when asked how the impeachment investigation affected her ability to get things done, emphasizing that it had no effect on her.

However, Washington Post commentator Jada Yuan judged the level of separation between Ivanka and her father as close to zero, and the President's daughter calculated more than she showed. Still, Yuan cannot deny Ivanka's confidence and ingenuity, regardless of who stood in front of her was the music star or the CEO of the nation's leading corporations.

As both a daughter and a senior advisor to Trump, Ivanka is likened to an expanded version of her father, but more polite and softer, tasked with promoting less divisive policies in the government, like criminal justice reform or job creation.

Ivanka's schedule in Indianapolis completely focused on her goals. Before going to prison, at about 7:45, Ivanka participated in a radio talkshow while still in the car. She chatted happily with the host Tony Katz for about 9 minutes, focusing on referring to new job training and raising the level of workers amid the volatile context of the economy. Katz did not ask Ivanka about the impeachment investigation, nor did she raise her opinion on that matter.

At the prison, the President's daughter confidently walked through the cells, always the first to enter each room and actively shook hands with those who welcomed her. Ivanka also visited prisoners' cooking classes, beauty treatments and mosquito nets, then enthusiastically introduced a program where inmates trained dogs to serve disabled employers.

Ivanka's last stop on her visit to the prison was a class that taught inmates to build websites, as part of a programming program taught by NGO, Last Mile. The female inmates said they heard the news that "Trump will visit" that morning and were delighted when Ivanka showed up.

Ivanka made similar trips, but often only reported by local newspapers and local media, such as a discussion in Dallas with Google executive Sundar Pichai, or a visit to Morocco in November. to promote a global initiative for economic development for women.

After observing the space at the prison, Ivanka and a bipartisan group, including leading leaders in the economic field, such as US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Walmart president Doug McMillon, listened to female prisoners presenting employment ideas after serving.

At around 9.45am, the leadership continued to move to the prison chapel, where Ivanka spent two hours presiding over a meeting she considered "very interesting". The discussion topic included a promotional campaign to guide the various employment paths without a university degree, as well as a database to help connect workers with employers. Ivanka did not mention any other issues that could have an impact on her family.

"Based on our point of view, we will continue to promote and focus on the tasks set out. That's why my family moved to Washington, which is also our inspiration and priority," Ivanka said. speaking after the meeting, and further elaborated on the skills training programs she wants to apply in prison or in the countryside.

Two days after her visit to Indianapolis, Ivanka declared victory when parliament reached a bipartisan agreement on the provision of 12-week paid vacation time for federal employees to spend time with their families, one of the top priority policies. her head.

Four days later, US media reported that Ivanka had a close relationship with Christopher Steele, a former Secret Intelligence Service agent (MI6) who provided documents proving Russia to support Trump in the election campaign. president in 2016, who was repeatedly attacked by the White House boss.

Some newspapers later provided more information that Ivanka would hold a conference to discuss the new leave rules, but did not invite Democratic senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Rosa DeLauro, who also proposed a proposal. The law is on leave and is addressing this issue before Ivanka moved to Washington.

On 10 December, while Democrats announced impeachment terms Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a press conference on the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement (USMCA), Ivanka arrived at the National Building. Meeting to participate in the interview with the news agency McClatchy.

"Do you think it's a coincidence?" Ivanka mentioned consecutive "blows" from the Democrats, adding that she had just met with Republicans to discuss the rules. USMCA leave and agreement and a number of other issues, but impeachment is not her focus.

"We focus on things that can be controlled. They are promoting the agenda for the American people, creating jobs and the development environment. Our energy is for those things," Ivanka said. .

On the first night of Ivanka's two-day Indianapolis visit, First Lady Melania tweeted a defense of her son Barron when law professor Pamela Karlan mentioned his name during Trump's impeachment hearing on December 4. "A minor should have privacy and should stay away from politics. Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your shameful and biased harassment," Melania wrote.

However, Ivanka did not comment on this incident during her business trip. She spent two days walking around Indianapolis with Minister Ross, visiting the women's prison, meeting with leaders, giving radio interviews. There were no boos from the people and the word "impeachment" almost didn't appear.

Ivanka left the women's prison in a black car around midday on December 5. At around 14h40, she and her staff and Secret Service agents boarded the flight of American Airlines to return to Washington.
