Ivanka Trump
(CNN) President Donald Trump has a longtime habit in high-profile meetings that's no "Art of the Deal" secret: a casual drop-by from daughter Ivanka Trump.
Take Wednesday's meeting with congressional leaders:  Ivanka Trump   who also serves as a White House adviser  "entered the Oval Office to 'say hello' and the meeting careened off-topic " a congressional source briefed on the meeting told CNN's Deirdre Walsh.
Some Republican leaders were "visibly annoyed by  Ivanka 's presence " the source said.
Marc Short  White House director of legislative affairs  confirmed the purpose of  Ivanka Trump's  visit.
"We asked  Ivanka  to briefly join the meeting for an update on the child care tax credit and how we are working to make tax reform a bipartisan issue " he said. "It was a quick and productive conversation."

  Ivanka Trump  also joined  her  father Wednesday afternoon in North Dakota  where  he  gave a tax reform speech.
In the middle of  his  remarks  the President brought  her  onstage.
"By the way   Ivanka Trump ? Everybody loves  Ivanka Trump  "  he  said. "Come on  should I bring Ivanka up?
 He  added that  his  daughter had asked to join  him  on the trip.
 Ivanka Trump  made brief remarks on stage before leaving the stage.
While  Trump  was speaking to The New York Times in July   Ivanka Trump  and daughter Arabella Kushner popped in to say "hello" as  he  was answering a question about former FBI Director James Comey's testimony on Capitol Hill.
" His  testimony is loaded up with lies  OK? But people didn't -- we had a couple people that said -- 'Hi baby  how are you?' "  Trump  said as  his  granddaughter entered the room.
"Just wanted to come say 'hi ' "  Ivanka Trump  said as  she  stood in the doorway  according to a transcript of the interview.
 The President  asked  his  granddaughter to say hello to the reporters in Mandarin  touting the six-year-old's "good  smart genes " before returning to the topic at hand.
Later that month   Ivanka Trump  dropped by an interview  the President  was having with The Wall Street Journal.
