As Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation potentially nears its end, Ivanka Trump says she's not worried about its findings.
The first daughter spoke with ABC News on Friday and, when asked if she's "concerned about anyone in your life that you love being involved" in the probe, she responded, "No, I'm not. I'm really not."
Trump pointed to the controversy over the Trump Tower Moscow deal as evidence that there's "nothing there" and one reason why she has "zero concern" about the investigation.

President Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen said in November that he lied to Congress about how long Trump was talking about a possible deal to build a Trump Tower in Russia, saying negotiations continued up until June 2016. Trump's current lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, later suggested the talks may have continued all the way up until November, although he later said this was a "hypothetical."
Ivanka Trump told ABC News there was "never a binding contract" about the deal and "nobody visited it to see if it was worth our time." She also said she knew "literally almost nothing" about the project but said it wasn't that out of the ordinary, anyway, because it's "not like it's a strange thing, as a hospitality company or a development company, to have a hotel or a property in Russia."
