NBC reporter Peter Alexander asked Ivanka Trump in an interview if she believed the female accusers of her father. Ivanka responded by telling Alexander that the question is inappropriate because she is his daughter:
“Do you believe your father’s [sexual misconduct] accusers?” -@PeterAlexander

“I think it’s a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter if she believes the accusers of her father when he’s affirmatively stated there’s no truth to it.” -@IvankaTrump pic.twitter.com/23AVPgcOdE
She’s not wrong about it being inappropriate, as it’s not fair to put her in that position.
There’s no way she’d throw her father under the bus on something like this publicly, even if she truly does believe some of the accusers. The evidence is pretty compelling in the case of the porn star, so I suspect she’s not being completely honest with Alexander. But that is to be expected, which again underlies why it’s inappropriate in the first place.
She does say, however, that she believes Mueller can be trusted:
“Consistently we’ve said there was no collusion… and we believe that Mueller will do his work.” -@IvankaTrump
