Washington (CNN)Ivanka Trump traveled from Washington to New Jersey to celebrate Passover, flouting the federal coronavirus guidelines advising against discretionary travel that she has urged other Americans to follow, The New York Times reported.
A senior White House adviser, Trump has posted social media videos encouraging "those lucky enough to be in a position to stay at home, please, please do so."
But Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, along with their children, traveled to the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey to celebrate the first night of Passover this month, the Times reported, citing two people with knowledge of their travel plans.
CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.

The White House federal guidelines to slow the spread of coronavirus state: "Avoid discretionary travel, shopping trips, and social visits." The White House task force has advised Americans to social distance, stay 6 feet apart from others, and to avoid social gatherings of 10 or more people.
Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser has also issued a "stay-at-home" order, restricting residents to only essential activities and travel.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a travel advisory on March 28 urging people in the tri-state area -- New York, New Jersey and Connecticut -- to "refrain from non-essential domestic travel" for the next two weeks, with exceptions for critical infrastructure employees. New Jersey has been a "hot spot" for coronavirus cases, making it the second state with the most reported cases and deaths.
Trump is not the only high-profile official who has been lax about the federal guidelines of social distancing. Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg continued to work out with her personal trainer, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio went for a walk miles from his home, and Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt and his family ate at a packed restaurant.
