Has Trump turned the White House into an ad company for his family’s products?
Kellyanne Conway.
The [US] Office of Government Ethics is recommending that the White House take disciplinary action against Kellyanne Conway, a top adviser to President Trump, for endorsing Ivanka Trump’s products in a TV interview.
Walter Shaub, the director of the ethics office, wrote in a letter to the White House that there is “strong reason to believe” Conway violated ethics standards and that disciplinary action is warranted. He suggested that the White House open an investigation.
Shaub likened what Conway did to appearing in a TV commercial.
Conway gave the endorsement on Fox News Channel last week, one day after the president attacked the Nordstrom department store chain for treating his daughter unfairly. Nordstrom has said it dropped her line of clothing and accessories because they weren’t selling well.

Didn’t take long for the Trump corruption to rear its extremely ugly head.
The question has to be asked is there a clause in her contract that prevents her earning money form a different source, if not she has broken no laws, and ethics doesn’t come into it as they are not legally enforceable.
