Ivanka Trump had been a personal friend of the former British spy who authored a series of reports alleging links between Russia and Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, a relationship he said made him favourably disposed to the Trump family.

The previously unknown friendship between former intelligence officer Christopher Steele and Ivanka Trump was alluded to in a new report released Monday by the Justice Department's inspector general, which said Mr Steele had been friendly with a Trump family member, a relationship he described as personal.

Mr Steele told investigators he had visited the Trump family member at Trump Tower in New York and had once gifted the person a family tartan from Scotland.

A person familiar with Mr Steele's business Orbis confirmed the family member was Ivanka Trump.
The two first met in 2007, two years before she married husband Jared Kushner, the person said. They emailed over the years and, between 2010 and 2012, Mr Steele discussed with Ivanka Trump the possibility that the Trump Organisation might hire his business to assist with projects in Russia and China. They remained friends through 2015, the person said.

A White House spokesman and an attorney for the Trump Organisation declined to comment. ABC News first reported the relationship between Mr Steele and the president's daughter.
