Goodlatte Excuses Ivanka Trump’s Email Violations

House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) said that it was “awfully tough” for government officials such as Ivanka Trump to comply with agency standards for secure communications when sending emails, Politico reports.

Said Goodlatte: “When things like this come up, it’s important people understand, they need to make sure they’re doing what they can. And it’s awfully tough, as everyone knows, when you’re sending emails about a lot of different things to make sure that you’re doing it according to the rules in the White House or wherever you’re doing it.”
