Tiffany Trump, 24, visited her older sister, Ivanka, at her Washington, DC home with her family on Thursday night.
The Georgetown law student was likely getting in some quality time with her niece and nephews, who have been noticeably absent from Ivanka’s social media posts.
The president’s oldest daughter hasn’t shared an image of her little ones since including them in a Father’s Day tribute to Jared Kushner on June 17, after receiving flack for ‘tone deaf’ posting.
It was her post from May 27, when families being separated at the US-Mexico border was at top of mind for many people, that fueled backlash against the 36-year-old mother of three.
One of the children held at a Texas immigration facility died in May after being released, due to a lung infection she caught while in federal custody.

She tweeted on June 21:
‘Now that an EO has been signed ending family separation at the border, it is time to focus on swiftly and safely reuniting the families that have been separated.’

‘Great meeting with @IvankaTrump and her daughter Arabella,’ he tweeted. ‘I appreciate all Ivanka is doing to improve the plight of women in the developing world.’
