She was also a boardroom judge on her father's television show The Apprentice.[7][8][9] Starting in March 2017, she left the Trump Organization, becoming a senior adviser in her father's presidential administration alongside her husband. After ethics concerns were raised about her having access to classified material while not being held to the same restrictions as a federal employee, Trump agreed to voluntarily file "financial disclosure forms required of federal employees and be bound by the same ethics rules".[10][11] While serving in the White House, she continued to operate her clothing brand business until July 2018, which raised ethics concerns, specifically conflicts of interest.[12] She was considered part of the president's inner circle even before becoming an official employee in his administratio
