Ivanka Trump made the most of her morning commute on Monday as she headed out to work while reading the New York Times—just 24 hours after her father slammed the broadsheet on Twitter once more.
The first daughter, 36, was seen at the back of a Secret Service SUV catching up on current events, with her eyes trained on her paper while the vehicle pulled away from her house in the upscale neighborhood of Kalorama in Washington, D.C.
She kept her outfit on the thriftier side by wearing a black turtleneck underneath a double-breasted, tailored burgundy blazer from Zara.

While the blazer is currently sold out, it was originally available at $199, then went on sale at $22.99. Both price tags make the jacket an especially affordable element of Ivanka’s wardrobe.
Ivanka, who wore her hair in a sleek blowout and finished off her outfit with a pair of golden, dangle earrings, had her eyes trained on the arts section of the New York Times.
She was glancing at the ‘journeys’ page, detailing travel itineraries such as a $5,890 cruise on the Danube river in Central and Eastern Europe, a $5,495 behind-the-scenes tour of New York theater landmarks, and a $7,995 stay for the Aix-en-Provence Opera festival in France.
Her departure on Monday came just a few days after Ivanka was seen reading another New York newspaper, the New York Post.
She was spotted with the tabloid in her hands earlier this month, also at the back of the Secret Service vehicle taking her to work in D.C.

Commute: The first daughter’s husband and fellow White House adviser, Jared Kushner, was also seen heading out to work in a Secret Service car on Monday morning
Ivanka’s catch-up on the New York Times also came just a day after her father, President Donald Trump, slammed the broadsheet on Twitter for publishing a story stating he is unhappy with the legal team defending him as part of the current investigation into whether his campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 election.
The first daughter’s husband and fellow White House adviser, Jared Kushner, was also seen heading out to work in a Secret Service car on Monday morning.
Jared, 37, left a little before 8 like his wife, sticking to his classics in a dark suit and white shirt, paired with a blue tie.
Over the weekend, the pair were spotted on a morning jog together, following claims that Ivanka complained about the White House chief of staff embarrassing her husband.

During the couple’s run on Saturday morning, Ivanka sported a dark blue hoodie, leggings and gray running shoes.
Her husband opted to show more leg and wore gray Nike shorts, a black jacket and running shoes.
Both wore baseball caps with ‘USA’ printed across the front.
Jared and Ivanka were recently sidelined by General John Kelly when he downgraded Jared’s security clearance from top-secret to secret, which apparently caused Ivanka to react in outrage.
‘Why do you have to embarrass Jared like that?’ she complained to a friend, according to Vanity Fair.
A source in the White House said President Trump’s son-in-law is now ‘looking at everything he can do that doesn’t require a clearance,’ Vanity Fair reported.
The demotion came after Jared was considered the second most powerful man in the West Wing. Jared now remains under the shadow of the Russia probe and has seen his business dealings come under renewed scrutiny.
