If Ivanka is a full time employee of the Trump Organization he is required to report everything he pays her -salary, commission, bonuses, …everything. If he tries to evade that obligation by paying her in another way for work she does for the Trump Organization, that’s tax evasion.

Thanks for your specific answer. Being in no way an expert on tax evasion, you seem to have something here.

I do hope you’ve read enough of my posts to know that I am not a Trump enabler. And I don’t even know if you were referring to me. But I assure you, I am not one. And no doubt having to have proof beyond a reasonable doubt in order to start an investigation would pretty much guarantee the end of all investigations.
