HISPANICS/IVANKA/SCANDAL: “President Trump posed for a photo with several Goya Foods products, appearing to promote the company from the Oval Office. The photo was shared on the president’s Instagram account on Wednesday, one day after his daughter Ivanka, a senior White House adviser, tweeted a photo of herself posing with a can of Goya beans…
Government watchdog groups called Ivanka’s photo an ethics violation, saying ethics rules bar government officials from using their public office to endorse specific products or groups. However, as president, Trump is exempt from many of the rules that federal workers must follow.
The president and his daughter’s photos appearing to promote Goya come after politicians and celebrities called for a boycott of the Hispanic foods company, following remarks by its CEO that praised Trump.”
