"Ms. Conway acted inadvertently and is highly unlikely to do so again"



Conway came under criticism last month when she said on television that Americans should “go buy Ivanka’s stuff,” in comments that appeared to violate government ethics rules prohibiting the use of public office to endorse products or advance personal business gains.

In a letter to a government ethics watchdog agency, White House Deputy Counsel Stefan Passantino said he met with Conway after her comments and that she committed to follow the rules in the future.

The Office of Government Ethics has said the White House should consider taking disciplinary action against Conway.

But there was no mention in Passantino’s letter of any disciplinary action.

“We concluded that Ms. Conway acted inadvertently and is highly unlikely to do so again,” Passantino said in the letter to Office of Government Ethics Director Walter Shaub.

A stern lecture. Maybe. She "mis-spoke". Coulda happened to anybody.
