Statement

Date: Feb. 14, 2017
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Executive Branch Government Operations

Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA) released the following statement today after the U.S. Office of Government Ethics urged the White House Counsel to investigate senior White House Advisor Kellyanne Conway's potential violation of federal rules:

"Kellyanne Conway's infomercial for President Trump's daughter was an egregious violation of the federal Standards of Conduct. This dereliction of basic ethical conduct from a senior Administration official is behavior that has come to characterize the Trump White House. I applaud the U.S. Office of Government Ethics' action today and urge the White House Counsel to investigate immediately this unacceptable behavior and exercise appropriate discipline."
