Ivanka Trump 'ignored her father's federal guidelines as well as her own advice to stay at home and traveled from Washington to New Jersey for Passover with her family'

Ivanka Trump has been accused of ignoring her own advice as well as her father's federal coronavirus guidelines by traveling to New Jersey for Passover.

The president's daughter and senior White House adviser reportedly journeyed more than 200 miles with her family to the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster for the first day of Passover, which was on April 8 this year.

She was joined by her husband Jared Kushner, who is also a senior adviser to her father's administration, and their three children, as they took the trip from their home in Washington DC, according to the New York Times.

Sources who spoke to the newspaper claimed Ivanka remained in Bedminster after April 8 and continued to work by taking phone and video calls.

The trip goes against not only federal advice but her own words in a video posted on March 30, telling Americans to 'please, please' stay at home and that 'social distancing saves lives'.

In a clip posted on her Twitter and Instagram accounts, Ivanka said: 'Those lucky enough to be in a position to stay at home, please, please do so. Each and every one of us plays a role in slowing the spread.' 

Accordng to the Times, Ivanka has been saying the Bedminster golf club is currently closed and therefore more socially distant than her mansion in the Kalorama neighborhood of Washington.

Since the start of this month, she also posted another video from the same room in which she said the White House was 'deeply committed' to small businesses and that the administration was 'fighting for you' through the Paycheck Protection Program, which was launched signed into law at the end of March. 

Another Instagram picture posted on Monday showed Ivanka and her daughter, Arabella, wearing homemade face masks, advising people to follow the CDC's guidelines on facial protection. 

On March 16, the White house published The President's Coronavirus Guidelines that advised Americans to 'avoid discretionary travel' such as 'shopping trips and social visits'.

By April 30 the White House issued more guidelines on social distancing. 

The city of Washington issued a stay-at-home order for all residents unless they are performing essential activities from April 1 - a week before it was claimed Ivanka made the trip to New Jersey.

However, New Jersey was the first in the tri-state area to issue a stay-at-home order, with state leaders ordering residents on March 21 not to leave their homes unless they are getting essential goods, seeking medical attention, or taking exercise.

After Passover, Kushner was said to have returned to DC and where he is on the White House Coronavirus Task Force and is part of the council working on a strategy to reopen the US after the virus lockdowns.

The White House had not immediately commented on the first daughter's movements.

The couple have taken on key roles in the coronavirus crisis. 

Ivanka Trump has been working with small businesses who are feeling the economic pain of the disease while Kushner has taken a key virus response role, fielding calls from hot-spots seeking protective gear and trying to line up deliveries. 

He drew criticism when he said of the national medical stockpile: 'The notion of the federal stockpile is that it's supposed to be our stockpile. It's not supposed to be states' stockpiles that they then use.'

President Trump has credited his daughter at a small business event earlier this month with creating 15 million jobs at a time when the country has seen as many as 17 million make unemployment applications.
