This time it is his daughter and senior adviser, Ivanka who is under investigation for violating federal law by using a personal email account to send government documents. Just before leaving for vacation, Trump came out and gave an incredibly weak excuse as to why his daughter's use of a private email server and Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server are so completely different.

"She wasn't doing anything to hide her emails." There was no deleting like Hillary Clinton did. There was no server in the basement like Hillary Clinton had. You were talking about a whole different, you're talking about fake news."
