Moving truck outside Jarvanka’s D.C. home just there to pick up donations, source claims

A moving truck seen outside the home of President Trump’s daughter and son-in-law’s Washington, D.C. home prompted speculation Thursday that the couple was getting out of town in the wake of chaos at the Capitol.

But the orange “College Hunks Hauling Junk” truck was in fact picking up donations for the Salvation Army, claimed a source close to Trump’s daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump.

The donations consisted of clothes and toys, the source said, adding that the Salvation Army contracts with the “College Hunks.”

That appears to answer a piquant question posed by Yahoo News reporter Hunter Walker.

“Someone just sent me this photo of moving trucks at Jared and Ivanka’s house,” he tweeted Thursday afternoon.

“[T]he question I have is which one of them wanted the ‘college hunks’ to do the move,” he quipped.

Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner moved into a stately house in Washington’s upscale Kalorama neighborhood in 2017.

The snapshot came after weeks of speculation about the couple’s post-Trump-presidency plans. The commander-in-chief changed his residency from New York to Florida, though he has not confirmed his plans, either.

Ivanka Trump came under criticism for a Wednesday tweet referring to the mob at the Capitol as “American Patriots,” quickly deleting the statement from her timeline.

The home of Ivanka Trump, the daughter of President Donald Trump, and her husband White House Senior Advisor Jared Kushner, is seen Friday, March 24, 2017, in Washington.

“[A]ny security breach or disrespect to our law enforcement is unacceptable,” she tweeted at the mob. “The violence must stop immediately. Please be peaceful.”

She went on the defensive after deleting the tweet, stating: “No. Peaceful protest is patriotic” when a Twitter user asked her if she was calling members of the mob “patriots.”

Ivanka Trump and Kushner’s possible departure from Washington comes as a number of White House official have quit in protest of the president’s role in Wednesday’s chaos.

Trump’s former chief of staff Mick Mulvaney quit a diplomatic post on Thursday morning, followed by Elaine Chao’s resignation as transportation secretary later in the day.
