CNN reports:
Kellyanne Conway, a top adviser to President Donald Trump, was counseled after promoting Ivanka Trumps clothing and accessory brand during an interview from the White House Thursday morning. Kellyanne has been counseled, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said during his daily briefing. Shes been counseled on that subject. Conway, in a Fox News interview from the White House, urged people to go buy Ivankas stuff.
The comments could run afoul with federal law that bars public employees from making an endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity. Its the latest in a string of ethics concerns raised about the Trump administrations relationship with the familys private businesses since he assumed office.

(54,476 posts)He was also counseled to resign the presidency and go home. At least he took the advice. Conway, being a modern Republican, will probably say, "oh? I'm not supposed to do that? OK," and think that's the end of it. Being a Republican, she is unfortunately probably right.
The IOKIYAR rule is in force now more than ever.
