Trump adviser Conway draws ethics complaints for touting Ivanka Trump products
By Susan Heavey WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway drew sharp criticism and complaints on Thursday over the ethics of using her position to promote product lines of President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka, a day after Trump attacked a retailer for dropping them. "Go buy Ivanka's stuff ... I'm going to go get some myself today," Conway told Fox News in an interview from the White House. "I'm going to give a free commercial here: Go buy it today, everybody." Republican Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House of Representatives Oversight committee, told The Associated Press Conway's promotion of the brand was "clearly over the line, unacceptable." Chaffetz spokeswoman M.J. Henshaw confirmed his comments.

White House: Kellyanne Conway 'Counseled' on Endorsement of Ivanka Trump Brand
