Melania Trump to stay behind in New York while Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner move to D.C.


Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, plan to follow President-elect Donald Trump from New York City to Washington, D.C., CNN reports. The couple is reportedly looking for houses in the area, where they plan to take up residence with their three children.
Kushner is poised to be a top adviser to Trump and has already played a significant role in Trump's presidential campaign. Kushner leaves behind business interests in New York, including real estate and the New York Observer, of which he is the publisher. Ivanka is also expected to assume an advisory role in the incoming administration, although Trump has claimed his children will run his business while he is in the White House.
Unlike his daughter and his son-in-law, Trump's wife Melania and their young son Barron plan to continue living in Trump Tower in New York City through at least the spring, until Barron finishes his school year.
