While Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s roles in the White House have earned scorn and concerns about nepotism, neither Kushner nor Ivanka are receiving salaries for their positions assisting the president.

As noted by Politico, the salaries of White House staff members were made public on Friday. According to the White House document, Ivanka is getting paid a salary of $0.00 for her role as “first daughter and advisor to the president.” Likewise, Kushner is also receiving a salary of $0.00 for his position as “assistant to the president and senior advisor.”

In March, Jason Miller, a former spokesman for President Trump, disputed the notion that Ivanka’s rule in her father’s administration qualifies as nepotism because it is a volunteer position and “she is working for free.”

In her position, Ivanka has pushed for policies such as equal pay and paid maternity leave. Kushner has met with Israeli and Palestinian leaders in an attempt to broker a peace deal.
