First daughter Ivanka Trump is set to assume a "voluntary" position in the White House described as her father's "eyes and ears," but experts say it could put the Trump administration in questionable ethical territory.

Utah Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz said in a new interview his House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will not be a "cheerleader" for any president, including Donald Trump. "Our job is not to be a cheerleader for the president, and I think that's, over the long term, one of the things we'll be judged by is, did you call balls and strikes that are coming over the plate, to use a baseball metaphor, did you call the same on Democrats as you did on Republicans?" Chaffetz, who chairs the panel, told host Sharyl Attkisson during an interview that will air on Sunday's "Full Measure."
Rep. Louis Gohmert's calls for a new investigation on the Russian ties of John Podesta may just shed light on why the former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman's emails were hacked at all.

Reps. Adam Schiff , left, and Devin Nunes , leaders of the House Intelligence Committee. As Congress moved hesitantly in the last few months toward investigating Russia's interference in the 2016 election, a question has loomed: Could lawmakers bridge their deep partisan divide sufficiently to produce an inquiry a broad range of Americans would accept? In the House, the answer is largely in the hands of a pair of soft-spoken Californians: the chairman and ranking minority member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Devin Nunes , a Republican former dairy farmer from Tulare, and Adam B. Schiff , a Democratic former federal prosecutor from Burbank.
