CONFLICT OF INTERESTS/KELLYANNE CONWAY/TRUMP FAMILY/IVANKA: “The White House on Thursday ‘counseled’ Kellyanne Conway, one of President Trump’s top advisers, in an unusual show of displeasure after she urged consumers to buy fashion products marketed by Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter. Legal experts said Ms. Conway might have violated a federal ethics rule against endorsing products or promoting an associate’s financial interests.”
