Ivanka Trump shares new family Christmas photo with her father - two days after the President pardoned her father-in-law Charles Kushner for extorting his own brother in prostitute sex-tape scandal
Ivanka Trump has wished her fans a Merry Christmas and shared a new family photo - two days after President Trump pardoned her felonious father-in-law, Charles Kushner.
The First Daughter - who converted to Judaism prior to marrying husband Jared Kushner - posted the snap to Twitter to commemorate the Christian holiday.
'Merry Christmas!' the 39-year-old wrote above the festive photo, which was taken at The White House and showed her standing alongside her spouse and her father.
Ivanka and Jared's three children - Arabella, nine; Joseph, seven; and Theodore, three - were also included in the image.

Ivanka looked typically chic in a long camel coat and maroon turtleneck, while Jared cut a more casual figure in a navy zip-up coat.
President Trump also managed to brave a smile despite his ongoing quests to overturn the results of November's election.
It's believed the photo was taken earlier this week, as the President and First Lady are celebrating the holiday in Miami.
It's certainly a happy Christmas for the Kushner clan, after the President offered his son-in-law's father a full pardon on Wednesday.
Jared's father, Charles Kushner, 66, is a wealthy real estate magnate who spent 14 months in prison back in the mid-2000s after pleading guilty to 18 counts of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering
The White House issued a statement announcing the pardon citing his philanthropy work since leaving prison.

At the time of his arrest, Kushner was one of the most prominent fundraisers for the Democratic party, often hosting events for the likes of President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore.
In 2001, he was the biggest single campaign contributor to New Jersey Governor James McGreevey's campaign, helping him secure a win and in turn being named chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
He was also a prominent figure in the Jewish community, helping synagogues and schools.
Then came his spectacular fall from grace.
In 2003, federal prosecutors began investigating him for making illegal campaign donations.
Kushner then learned that his brother-in-law and former business partner William Schulder was cooperating with prosecutors.
He hatched a plot to pay a sex worker $10,000 to seduce Schulder at a New Jersey restaurant and then lure him to her hotel room.
The illicit encounter was then filmed with a secret camera and Kushner had the tape sent anonymously to Schulder's wife - his own sister - Esther in a ploy to stop the pair testifying.

The couple famously received the tape while they were getting ready for their son's engagement party.
But the plot failed and Kushner ended up instead adding witness tampering to his charges.
Kushner eventually pleaded guilty to 18 counts including tax evasion and witness tampering. He was sentenced in 2005 to two years in prison — the most he could receive under a plea deal.
Then-US Attorney Chris Christie had sought a longer sentence but Kushner struck a plea deal making two years the maximum length.
He served 14 months in a low-security prison in Alabama.

Meanwhile, Ivanka and Jared appeared to very happy at news of Charles Kushner's pardon.
Friday's festive family photo wasn't the first holiday image that they've shared since the news broke.
On Christmas Eve, Ivanka shared a series of glamorous snaps in which she cozied up to Jared in a glamorous black ball gown.
Jared could also keep the smile off his face as he donned a black tuxedo for a ritzy Christmas event.
