Ethics, meet Ivanka - Ivanka ... Ethics. [View all]

[PsychoBabble]

In yet another Trump administration ethics misstep, an official State Department Twitter account this week shared a post promoting Ivanka Trump’s book “Women Who Work.” The post, which was retweeted from the first daughter and White House adviser’s personal account, has since been deleted ...

... The incident is the latest in a growing list of ethically questionable moves made by the Trump administration. Two weeks ago, the State Department’s ShareAmerica site was forced to apologize for sharing a post promoting the “Winter White House,” also known as Donald Trump’s Florida Mar-A-Lago resort ...

... The powerful first daughter said she would be attuned to ethics concerns while promoting “Women Who Work,” which was released Tuesday, and decline to publicly promote it.

“In light of government ethics rules, I want to be clear that this book is a personal project. I wrote it at a different time in my life, from the perspective of an executive and an entrepreneur, and the manuscript was completed before the election last November,” she wrote in an April 20 Facebook post.

“Out of an abundance of caution and to avoid the appearance of using my official role to promote the book, I will not publicize the book through a promotional tour or media appearances,” she wrote.

"Dear Trump Family,

Ethics. Look it up. It's a thing.

Sincerely,

America"
