Ivanka Trump is vacationing in Europe with Wendi Deng Murdoch
Less than three months before the 2016 presidential elections and four months after giving birth to her third child, Ivanka Trump was vacationing in Croatia this weekend with her husband, Jared Kushner, and at least one friend, Wendi Deng Murdoch, the ex-wife of Rupert Murdoch and the woman who introduced Trump and Kushner.

Deng denies the rumors that she is dating Russia's president — "I've never met Putin," she told Vogue. "But wow, so much press about it. Why did they choose me?" — but with the various ties between Vladimir Putin's government and Trump's campaign, the connection was, as they say, too good to check. So relax everybody. Can't two successful, accomplished women — one the daughter of the Republican presidential nominee, the other the recent divorcée of the owner of Fox News who is not dating the leader of a country apparently trying to sabotage Donald Trump's Democratic rival — vacation together in peace during the heat of a crazy election season?
