Legal experts said in the hours following the appearance that the promotion may violate a federal ethics rule that prohibits officials from using their position to promote a product. Perhaps the most stunning rebuke came from House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz who said the plug was “clearly over the line, unacceptable,” according to the Associated Press. “This is just wonderful line,” Conway told Fox & Friends. “I own some of it. I fully—I’m going to give a free commercial here. Go buy it today, everybody. You can find it online.” > [](https://twitter.com/AndrewKirell/status/829679277033394176) The White House said Conway had been “counseled” for the remark without explaining what that entailed. “She’s been counseled, and that’s all we’re going to say,” said White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer at his Thursday press briefing. The pitch followed Nordstrom [saying](http://time.com/4664326/donald-trump-ivanka-nordstrom-sean-spicer/) it would stop carrying the retail line of the president’s daughter because of weak sales. President Donald Trump was widely [criticized](http://fortune.com/2017/02/08/donald-trump-nordstrom-dropping-ivanka-trump/) this week for slamming Nordstrom on Twitter. Lawrence Noble, general counsel at the elections law non-profit Campaign Legal Center, [suggested](https://twitter.com/LarryNoble%5FDC/status/829682520019046401) on Twitter that Conway may have “violated ban on Federal employee using public office for endorsement of product.” Don W. Fox, a former Office of Government Ethics official, [told](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/conway-may-have-broken-key-ethics-rule-by-touting-ivanka-trumps-products-experts-say/2017/02/09/fd1cc64a-eeda-11e6-b4ff-ac2cf509efe5%5Fstory.html?utm%5Fterm=.1ca58464a059) The Washington _Post_ that the promotion was “jaw-dropping.” Enforcement of the rule is the responsibility of the White House. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4665182/kellyanne-conway-ivanka-trump-products/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4665182/kellyanne-conway-ivanka-trump-products/"},"headline":"Kellyanne Conway Boosts Ivanka Trump's Products on TV: ‘Go Buy Ivanka's Stuff’","datePublished":"2017-02-09T14:32:32.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T12:09:36.000Z","description":"Nordstrom said it would pull the line after weak sales","url":"https://time.com/4665182/kellyanne-conway-ivanka-trump-products/","keywords":["White House","Donald Trump","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb35ccd217bd408bf/6988b991fb4eac2d49890b61/kellyanne-conway.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Justin Worland","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/justin-worland/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb35ccd217bd408bf/6988b991fb4eac2d49890b61/kellyanne-conway.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"US-POLITICS-CONWAY","caption":"US-POLITICS-CONWAY","creditText":"Brendan Smialowski—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/white-house/","name":"White House"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4665182/kellyanne-conway-ivanka-trump-products/","name":"Kellyanne Conway Boosts Ivanka Trump's Products on TV: ‘Go Buy Ivanka's Stuff’"}}]}] ```
