KELLYANNE CONWAY/TRUMP PEOPLE/TWITTER: “In legal circles, George T. Conway III is perhaps best known as the lawyer who argued a securities case before the Supreme Court and won with an 8-to-0 vote, or for his behind-the-scenes work that ultimately hastened the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. In Washington, Mr. Conway, 54, a corporate litigator, is known as the high-powered other half of a conservative power couple: His wife, Kellyanne Conway, is counselor to the president. But on the fleeting battleground that is Twitter, Mr. Conway is known as a political spouse who has for months seemed to publicly question decisions made by a turbulent administration in which his wife holds a central role…Whatever their purpose, Mr. Conway’s messages have caught the attention of aides in the West Wing, according to a White House official. That official said some advisers were miffed by the tweeting, and considered Mr. Conway’s public criticisms to be potentially harmful to Ms. Conway, who remains poised to assume more of the duties left behind by Hope Hicks, the departed White House communications director.”
