The White House adviser and first daughter used social media to weigh in on a controversy over a company that has faced boycott calls after its CEO praised the president.
Presidential adviser and first daughter Ivanka Trump posted a photo of herself on social media late Tuesday holding up a can of Goya black beans, prompting concerns that she was using her government position to endorse a private business.
Federal ethics laws prevent federal employees from using their positions “to endorse any product, service or enterprise.”“You’re about to get dinged for a violation of ethics rules that apply to you as a White House staffer,” Liz Mair, a Republican political consultant, tweeted.
