Nordstrom is entitled to make business decisions based on the profitability of their company without governmental interference or censure. Nordstrom employs 72,500 Americans whose jobs are now at risk. The president’s complaint is not a national security issue or anything that affects the public good. It is impossible to see the president’s actions as anything but reckless nepotism. This is unprecedented. But it represents only the latest in a long and growing list of conflicts of interest by President Donald J. Trump. Unlike his predecessors, this president has refused to release his tax returns. Without full knowledge of his holdings and debt, this brings into question many of his domestic and foreign policy decisions and appointments. Further, the president has refused to put his businesses in a blind trust, choosing instead the very questionable option to put his children in charge of his complex web of businesses. Without full divestment, the president is now making money from routine governmental functions. These include the Red Cross’s decision to hold its annual ball at Mar-a-Lago, the Defense department's lease of space in Trump Tower in New York City, and business trips by the president's children, to name just a few. This lack of financial transparency brings into question virtually every decision President Trump makes. Adding the apparent nepotism of the Nordstrom incident to this long list of questionable ethics leaves only one reasonable conclusion:  The United States congress must immediately begin a bipartisan investigation into the 45th president’s conflicts of interest and determine if grounds for impeachment exist.

We must preserve the ethics and character of elected officials so that our children have presidential leaders to look up to that have good moral values and character. I am appalled from I have read and heard on a daily basis from the Trump administration. More and more colleagues are discussing politics than ever before. After many protests DeVos (who has no experience in public education) is now overseeing  education in this country. It is a daily concern that affects me since I am in public education. Education is the most important function of state and local governments. Has your office investigated theTrump  administration for business deals with Russia, Middle East or other countries? This would mean a conflict of interest. It alarms me to hear that a president (along with Conway) are both able to promote Ivanka's business without any consequences.This raises many ethical concerns.

I've attached a copy of the Tweet and the @realDonaldTnunp Tweets. If you look at the stock price right after his tweets, you will notice a sharp decline.

Speci?cally to your office, I believe that Mr. Trump's attempt to intimidate for discontinuing his daughter's clothing line violates the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Government Employees 5 C.F.R. Part 2365 (Executive Branch) Subparts (Con?icting Financial Interests) and (Misuse of Position). Kellyanne Conway's use of her position within the administration and on a national television platform this morning to forward Trump family business interests is also deeply troubling. request immediate action on your part to safeguard the legitimate commercial interests of companies such as to protect the sanctity of the republic and to discharge the duties for which your of?ce is responsible. I would also request a reply letting me know what your office is doing to handle this matter insofar as you are capable. It would do me good to know you will be handling this, not kowtowing to the demands of this administration as other governmental bodies seem to be.

An employee is required to act impartially. Trump's attack on Nordstrom, a department store, is not impartial, is quite self-serving, and has no relationship to the good of the country. An employee may not make improper use of Government position, title, or authority. An attack on one store by the POTUS is clearly an abuse of power. An employee may not use Government property, nonpublic information, or time (including the time of a subordinate) for other than authorized purposes. And now a government employee,  Mr. Spicer, paid with my tax dollars, is using his paid time and position (Government property) to defend the attack on a department store.

Of?ce of Government Ethics 1201 New York Avenue, N.W., Suite 500 Washington, DC 20005 Dear US Of?ce of Government Ethics, This week, I was astonished to hear president Trlunp's senior Advisor, Kellyanne Conway, promote an associate's business (Ivanka Trump.) This action directly contradicts yoru? own clear ethics rules on yoru? website: A Refresher on the Impartiality Rule January 25, 2017 "As explained in my most recent m, executive branch employees are subject to an important set of ethics rules contained in the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch. Underlying these rules is a principle that employees must avoid even the appearance of impropriety. The impartialitv rule breathes life into this principle. Under the primary con?ict of interest law, an employee must not participate in any particular matter affecting the employee?s ?nancial interests, and the impartiality rule goes even ?uther by focusing on appearance issues. This rule applies even when the employee is free of fmancial con?icts of interest. Brie?y stated, the impartiality rule requires an employee to consider appearance concerns before participating in a particular matter if someone close to the employee is involved as a party to that matter. This requirement to refrain from participating (or ?recuse?) is designed to avoid the appearance of favoritism in govermnent decision-making. The rule is not implicated by everyone the employee knows, for example, mere friends and neighbors. Instead, the rule focuses on professional and fanrily relationships. Among others, the rule arises based on the employee?s relationship with any member of the employee?s household, an outside employer, a spouse?s employer, any relative with whom the employee has a close personal relationship, or an outside organization in which the employee is an ?active? member. The rule is also triggered by the employee?s relationship with individuals, clients, Please take immediate action on the misconduct of Kellyanne Conway. Her breaking of Federal Ethics Rules continues to feed the idea that this administration plays favorites and is out to help their friends and family above all others.   Thank you for your careful consideration of this matter, (b) (6) From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE; (b) (6) Bridge of Ethics Violated Friday, February 10, 2017 12:03:31 AM It is my responsibility as a citizen of the United States of America to bring to your attention the following Ethics Violation by the President of the United States: President Trump and also his counselor Kellyanne Conway endorsing Ivanka Trump’s products.  I’ve gotten this information via the national news reporting via msnbc.

I am very concerned and disappointed at actions by the Tnunp family and their staff. It appears that Trump has not separated himself adequately from his businesses.

This is just touching the sru?face and it is all It defmitely reads like FICTION but sadly these things are going on right now. Additionally we are still waiting for Tnunp to make his tax returns available.

I am writing to lodge a complaint against President Donald Trump and his counselor, KellyAnne Conway. It is unethical for the president or his advisor to use their positions and for Pres. Trump to use the official POTUS Twitter account to promote the business interests of the president's daughter. President Trump used both his personal account and his POTUS account to attack Nordstrom's, which dropped the Ivanka Trump line due to negative sales. First of all, it is Nordstrom's right to carry or drop any brand they so choose. Secondly, the president has no right to bring the power of his presidential office to bear on this decision. It is unethical that our president would use his position to intimidate businesses who choose not to carry a Trump line. As a private citizen, Mr. Trump could say what he likes about any company that dropped his daughter's line but he was not acting as a private citizen in this case.  Ms. Conway used an interview on Fox and Friends, in her capacity as President Trump's counselor, to provide what she herself called "a free commercial" for Ivanka Trump's line, saying she would be going out and buying some herself later, saying people could buy it in stores or online. I believe these acts are in violation of FEDERAL Code 5 CFR 2635.702 - The use of public office for private gain.I am hereby filing a complaint with the Office of Government Ethics.

This is an egregious conflict of interest and should be reprimanded. The office of the President should absolutely be forbidden from either promoting specific merchandise (ESPECIALLY that of a family member) or from criticizing a private business for a standard business decision. This sends an ominous message to other businesses and should be sanctioned as a flagrant conflict of interest. Thank you for your time.

Yesterday, I heard that the President of the United States took issue with Nordstroms decision to no longer stock his daughter's imported fashion items.  I've never bought any, maybe because I am a boy, I don't know, nor have I ever seen anyone except the President's daughter wearing any. I only saw her wearing a bracelet she was trying to sell while sitting at an official government meeting. I don't think it's ethical, and I hope you agree that it is not ethical or proper for the President to jawbone Nordstroms.  Has he shopped there?  I suppose not.  He should try the shoe department.   In any case, he should not be attacking Nordstroms for dropping an imported line that was not selling, apparently, don't know because as I have said before, a few times in fact, not here but in the neighborhood, that I don't buy cheap imports, even at Nordstroms.  I do buy the Ferragamo shoes and I know those are imported, but not by anyone related to the President, at least as far as I know, and I am, I have been told, gifted, so I would know more than most people.  I can google it, but I do like the Ferragamo shoes.   If there is a way for you to handle a complaint against the President without being called out on the Twitter or even perhaps fired by the President, I would like to file such a complaint.  Please let me know where to find the complaint forms. I also eat avocados, several a week, and I understand those are coming in from Mexico, but I don't think the President's family is in the avocado business, so I suppose he has no bone to pick with the avocado growing Mexicans as long as they stay on their side of the fence, or wall.  I would also ask that the limes be granted special status during any extreme vetting of fruits and vegetables from Mexico. For now though, I would like to focus on filing my complaint and have you tell the President to stop jawboning Nordstroms. Regards, (b) (6) born in the USA.

To compound this violation, she didn’t promote just any brand, she promoted a brand owned by the daughter of the President of the United States. Government employees around the country are trained to recognize the ethics violations of using their positions to promote private businesses, and in particular the businesses of family members and friends. If the Office of Government Ethics doesn’t investigate and appropriately punish this ethics violation, how can any government employee at the local, state, or federal level be expected to abide by ethics regulations?

It is unacceptable and unlawful for Donald Trump Jr. and for Kellyanne Conway to be defending Ivanka Trump's business interests. It is unacceptable that Trump is even making Nordstrom's decision not to carry Ivanka's clothing any longer a matter of politics, and frankly I'm annoyed that I even have to pay attention to such petty and uninteresting developments in the business and strategy decisions of Nordstrom's because the Trumps are tied up with them in their ever entangling business alliances.  I would also like to express my concern that Trump has not fully divested from his businesses, and I find it unbelievable that he has not been required to provide his tax returns.  Thank you for your concern, (b)(6) (b) (6) From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE Concern over Trump conflict of interest Friday, February 10, 2017 2:58:49 PM I am a seventy-five year old retired teacher.

Thank you for looking into this matter. Best, (b) (6) From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE concerned about President Trump, cabinet, and Congressmen Friday, February 10, 2017 3:32:35 AM To the Senior Leadership of OGE: Mr. Walter Shaub (director), Mr. David Apol, Ms. Shelley Finlayson, Mr. Dale Christopher, Mr. Nelson Cabrera, and to rest of the Office of Government Ethics, I am writing to voice my strong concerns about the actions of our current president and sitting congressmen. In the few weeks that President Trump has been in office, he has violated the constitution by retaining ownership in private companies that profit from his actions as the American president. The nomination of his son-in-law to a role as a senior advisor should also violate the anti-nepotism law. Just this past week, Trump attacked an American corporation in order for his family to benefit financially. Additionally, he and his spokespeople are knowingly and brazenly putting out known false information in an attempt to confuse and deceive the American people. Trump swore an oath to uphold the constitution. Vice President Pence swore to bear truth. Neither of these pledges are being upheld. I am concerned that Trump has put the security of the nation at risk by nominating many unqualified individuals to cabinet positions. These people include, but are not limited to, Betsy DeVos, Ben Carson, Steve Bannon, Jeff Sessions, and Scott Pruitt. In some cases, these people have no experience or qualification for the position (e.g., Carson) or they are known to actively campaign against the institutions they are supposed to be leading (e.g., DeVos and Pruitt). In other cases, nominees such as Bannon and Sessions are ethically and morally wrong. These are people who have a known history of racism and discrimination, principles which many laws in our country have been built to guard us against. Now Trump is putting these people into the some of the highest offices in the land, and in doing so, he puts millions of women, minorities, and LGBTQ people at risk. Given how wholly unqualified these nominees are for the positions they are being nominated to, and given how many highly qualified individuals there are to choose from, it would seem that their nominations are being motivated by personal financial gain rather than for the good of the nation. I am concerned about the latest actions by the congressmen, including, among others, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan. They have repeatedly shown willingness to unfairly re-write or apply rules in order to silence the opposition. In doing so, they are trying to silence democracy. By rushing through the cabinet nominations without due oversight by the ethics office and without allowing fellow congressmen to fairly vet the candidate, then they are putting the nation at risk for their own immediate self-interest, and they are underming democracy. We voted for our congressmen so that they can be our voice. When Elizabeth Warren is not allowed to talk about Session's nomination, the People's voice is being silenced. When congressmen are not allowed more than 5 minutes to ask cabinet nominees questions, the People's voice is being silenced. I am asking the Office of Government Ethics to look into these ethical violations, and bring justice back to the government. I thank you for your service to the American People.

On Thru?sday, Ms. Conway, on a Fox Friends segment (a nationally broadcast television program), clearly endorsed Ivanka Tnunp's retail clothing line, saying as follows: ?This is just wonderful line. I own some of it. I fully?I?m going to give a ?'ee commercial here. Go buy it today, everybody. You can ?nd it online.? I believe that Ms. Conway's statement constitutes a violation of 5 .F.R. Sec. 2635.702, which reads, in part, as follows: "?2635.702 Use of public of?ce for private gain. "An employee shall not use his public of?ce for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is af?liated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonpro?t organizations of which the employee is an of?cer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations." This is concerning to me because several individuals working in the White House seem to be spending their time (and my family's and friends' tax dollars) on promoting their own personal ?nancial interests, or the personal ?nancial interests of their ??iends and family, instead of serving the American people.

It seems blatantly clear that the President and his family are financially benefitting from holding office. He has refused to divest from his corporation, has pushed through the DAPL (even though he has invested in companies who are building/own the pipeline), forces taxpayers to cover ridiculous prices to rent out floors in Trump Tower, sends his son on a promotional trip to SA costing taxpayers almost $100K, and then tried to damage the sales of an American company. He tweeted about Nordstrom from his POTUS account and KellyAnne Conway also promoted Ivanka Trump's brand, which is clearly illegal. This needs to be dealt with immediately.

It is absolutely not appropriate or ethical (or legal?) for Donald Tnunp to remain in his tangled web of privately owned ventru?es while in his crurent position. His sons taking over is businesses is not removing himself from his business interests; that is a joke.

The acting "president", Donald Trump, has not revealed his tax forms and reports, nor has he divested from business. His family members are business partners and attempting to cash in on this short-lived job of his. His wife is about to start a Shopping Channel thing, and is suing because she thinks it is ok to do that. Maybe the presidential income is not enough for them. His daughter's clothing line was rejected from a store, and not only did he personally harass them, but his Public Relations spokesperson endorsed the product. all of this tells me he is perfectly willing to carve up the resources now available to him and sell them. Please investigate. There are plenty of actionable items that would be FBI-worthy if they were not also being paid off by the Russians. There is no ethics so i am not sure why your department is still in business, but if you have anyone left with a shred of ethics please do direct these serious inquiries from the public to the correct agencies.

Why is Trump allowed to pro?t from being the President of the He has retained ownership of his businesses and only handed day to day control to his sons. He is still listed as an executive producer on The Celebrity which tells me he still has a ?nancial interest. He has illegally pushed through the Dakota Access Pipeline and assuming this has been reported correctly, he has invested in the companies who are building wanting to repeal Dodd-Fr?ank (because his business "??iends" can't get loans), Secret Service and FBI having to rent out ?oors in Trump Tower, the taxpayer having to pay $97,000 (if correctly reported) for his son to take a personal business trip. As the President of the USA, he has attacked (from his personal Twitter account) an American company.

His advisor then promoted the clothing line on Fox News, asking people to "buy her stuff." Donald Trump clearly has one foot in the White House and one foot in the family businesses.

I am writing to ask that you please do something about He has not separated himself from his businesses at all. Just giving day to day operations to your son's is not enough. He is still listed as owner and can revoke his children's rights at any time. He still knows exactly what he is invested in and his Executive Orders are helping him profit from being President. He has illegally restarted the Dakota Access Pipeline. He was/is invested in Energy Transfer Partners and Phillips 66. He will make money off of this pipeline while injuring our relationships with Native Americans. His hotel empire is another conflict of interest. He has foreign companies/governments staying at or renting out floors at his hotels. Secret Service and the FBI are having to rent out floors at Trump Tower in New York. Why couldn't he give them the space for free since it is for his protection? His company is profiting from the taxpayer again. The American taxpayer is having to pay millions for the First Lady to stay, possibly permanently, at Trump Tower. We have had to pay for his son to take a personal business trip at the tune of $97,000.  This is just the first month. What is it going to cost us for 4 years? As a businessman he stands to gain by trying to repeal Dodd-Frank. He even said that it was bad because it hurt his business "friends" from getting good loans. That means it also hurts him. Yesterday was another big one. An American company, built by immigrants, says that they will no longer carry his daughter's clothing line do to poor sales. Not only does he tweet from his personal page, but he also uses the official POTUS page to say they are being unfair to his daughter and calls it a personal attack on him. How can a private company doing business in America be called out by the President of the United States because they made a business decision that he doesn't agree with? Basically if you don't do whatever he feels is right it is then an attack on him an he can try to hurt their business. His advisor KellyAnn Conway, on tv, said that she thinks people should go out and buy Ivanka's line. This is a SALES PITCH coming from the President and his staff. Even Press Secretary Sean Spicer basically said as much yesterday. These are just the things that we are aware of. Since the President won't release his tax returns we really have no idea how many conflicts there really are. This man is profiting by being our President. He is willing to threaten American jobs by calling for a boycott of an American company (85,000 jobs I believe.) He is willing to destroy our environment by pulling back on regulations and even flirting with disbanding the EPA because it helps his bottom line. He is willing to cause another recession with repeals of laws that were put in place to protect the American people. He is in violation of the Emoluments Clause and he continues to throw it in the American People's face that he can do whatever he wants. The American People are asking you to please help us.

An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonprofit organizations of which the employee is an officer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations Additionally, ignorance of the law is not a defense as she was briefed on rules and laws prior to being appointed, is required to take rules and ethics CE use as a licensed attorney in four states, and was taught ethics and law while attending law school. As a representative of the highest power in the land, she needs to be prosecuted and punished to the full list extent of the law. Thank you Have a fantastic day!

Similarly, President Trump has made several unfavorable public statements about retailers dropping the Ivanka Trump brand, including a tweet yesterday (February 8, 2017) that his daughter Ivanka was treated "unfairly" by Nordstrom. Setting aside the fact that these statements are immature at best, and distract from important policy issues facing our nation, they are also violations of statute 5 CFR 2635.702 which states, among other things, that: An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity. An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office in a manner that is intended to coerce or induce another person, including a subordinate, to provide any benefit, financial or otherwise, to himself or to friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity. There is no basis for allowing these statements to stand unchallenged as they are a direct and clear violation of this statute. Your office is bound to investigate, formally charge, and institute the appropriate penalties for these actions.

She violated statute 5 FR 2635.702 by endorsing the plu?chase of Ivanka Tnunp's clothing line. This is only the latest in this series of ethical lapses and questionable actions by the current administration: 0 President Tnunp's failtu?e to release his tax rettuns or divest from his companies 0 The Trump International Hotel lease at the Old Post Of?ce Pavilion 0 President Tnunp's tweets chastising for its business decision to stop canying Ivanka Tnunp's clothing line The Tnunp administration must not be allowed to use the Presidency for personal em?ichment.

As a parent, I sympathize with President Trump when some thing happens to your child, I understand the need to speak out.  But, President Trump crossed the line when he made those remarks about Nordstrom.   This was not a parent defending their child.  This was an investor, speaking out about a business decision that affected his daughter.  This is such a conflict of interest.  And to make the entire situation worse, Kelly Ann Conway, does a commercial for his daughter’s clothing line, asking the American people to buy her line of clothes!!!!!   This is definitely a conflict of interest, and I am pretty sure illegal. When will our government make this President and this administration be held to the same laws/ regulations that every other one has??? I ask that you do your job, and please take appropriate action.  It is your duty - it is what your department was established for. Thank you.

First, we can begin with Donald Trump advocating from the White House condemning Nordstrom’s, but that is just the tip of the iceberg for him. As American citizens we demand he turn over his tax returns to be investigated for conflicts of interest. Next would be his ties to the Russian hacking into our election process, his knowledge of the Russian hacking, and the knowledge of Russian hacking his campaign knew about. All this needs investigation promptly, especially due to his irrational behavior in the White House. He appears to be mentally unstable too.  He is too much of a Russia lover for my taste! He needs to be dealt with before he can do irreversible damage to this country. Second,  Mike Flynn needs to be fired from the White House staff for his involvement into discussing US sanctions with the Russian Ambassador.  Remove Mike Flynn, investigate those who lied for him saying he did not discuss Russian Sanctions. This poor excuse he was acting on the new administrations part to  set up information is a lie and cover.  The real deal is they are using Rex Tillerson to get the oil in Russian. Mike Flynn just negotiating with them to wait on Trump to be sworn in then he would get the sanctions lifted. Third,  Kelly Anne Conway needs to be fired!!! She has lied numerous time to the press about “crap” stories, now pushing Ivanka Trump’s clothing line from the White House. She needs to be fired nothing less will satisfy the American Public. This White House is making a joke out of our country. We need to put a stop to this madness.

This remark had no connection with his public of?ce, but every connection to his familial and business ties. In a national television segment about Ivanka Trump's business, Kellyanne Conway told viewers "I?m going to give a free commercial here. Go buy it today, everybody. You can ?nd it online." Conway admitted herself that she was advertising the brand. I believe these two remarks are in violation of ethics code 2635.702 Use of public of?ce for private gain." The code clearly states that "An employee shall not use his public of?ce for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is af?liated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonpro?t organizations of which the employee is an of?cer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations." As federal employees with signi?cant rank, using their public platforms to endorse a clothing line falls within this violation.

The WH needs oversight. Donald Trump must also stop abusing his power as POTUS to use the WH and government social media tools as his personal soapbox to denounce Nordstrom's or anyone else that crosses him.  This is not a democracy, but facist dictatorship.  This is not a reality show, but people's and corporations livelihoods. Also Donald Trump needs to fully divest himself from his companies.  Having his son as trustee does not accomplish this.  This is a definite conflict.  I hope that the emoluments clauses will be reviewed to determine violations by Trump. I have never been a politically charged individual, but what I see/hear happening every single day is exhausting, but I vow to write and call to make sure my voice I heard.  This is an unhinged Administration.

This, combined with the Trump organization's agreement with GSA, the mention of First Lady Trump's jewelry line QVC partnership on whitehouse.gov, and President Trump's "personal gift" of a Mar-A-Lago trip to the Prime Minister of Japan, I don't believe the President, his staff or his family who is employed as government civil servants are able to separate their personal business interests from what's best for the country. Further, using their professional positions as influence to sway the public into business decisions which personally benefit them financially is a violation of multiple ethics laws (depending on your interpretation about the breadth of the emoluments clause). I hope that the OGE is able to extend to President Trump and members of his administration a clear course of guidance, to include options for disciplining offending staff for these violations. Please know, as a current government employee who must engage in multiple mandatory ethics trainings over the course of one year, I expect that senior leadership be held to an even higher and more rigid standard.

Some examples: Kellyanne Conway using her position at the Whitehouse to promote Ivanka Trump's clothing line. In the ?rst place it was disquiting, to say the least, that the President would call out in a tweet. And then Kellyanne is apparently getting by with "counseling" as the President appears to be 100% behind her with no censure. Michael apparently discussing sanctions against Russia with the Russian Ambassador before the election. This is looking very suspicious as his story has changed from "No, I didn't" to don't remember". And by the way, whatever happen to the investigation on Russia tampering with our election? President Trump entertaining PM Shinzo Abe at his estate in Florida as a "personal gift". This is just one example of Trump's business interests that mix with state functions in a way that literater screams con?ict of interest. I truly hope someone can educate this administration on proper conduct as statesmen and that this gang is not just going to be able to do whatever they want without regard to ethics or con?icting interests.

(b) (6) (b) (6) From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE Ethics breaches by the Executive Office Friday, February 10, 2017 2:54:38 AM It now appears that not only is Pr Trump using his executive office to promote businesses where he has a personal interest, but now members of his administration (Kellyanne Conway) are too.  A February 9, 2017 Washington Post article reported that (1) Pr Trump used his executive office position to encourage citizens to purchase L.L. Bean merchandise after a company board member, Linda Bean, donated money to a pro-Trump super PAC and (2) Kellyanne Conway told the public on Wednesday that people should "go and buy Ivanka's [Trump] stuff" and that she was giving her "a free advertisement".  This followed two tweets from Pr Trump criticising Nordstrum's decision to drop Ivanka Trump's clothing and shoe lines for purely economic reasons. Pr Trump used not only his personal twitter account, but that of POTUS. This is wholly incompatible with the role of head of the executive branch. It is also completely inconsistent with Pr Trump's admonishments that citizens should buy only American products, when Ivanka Trump's are manufactured in China, Indonesia and Vietnam. Do those rules not apply to the first family? This is on top of Melania Trump's current legal action against the UK Daily Mail which claims $150 million in damages based on "her heightened profile as a “unique, once-in-alifetime opportunity” to make millions of dollars in business" merchandising that she intended/intends to promote while First Lady. The article also says: "The new complaint ... refers to opportunities she had “to launch a broad-based commercial brand in multiple product categories, each of which could have garnered multimillion dollar business relationships for a multiyear term during which plaintiff is one of the most photographed women in the world.”" What are you doing about these inappropriate steps to enrich Trump family businesses through the executive office of the presidency?   There is no need to respond to this email, but surely one or more of these events constitutes an ethics breach that is within your remit to act on.  Please do something about these latest ethics violations.  From: To: Contact OGE Subject: ethics charges Date: Friday, February 10, 2017 6:24:00 PM I believe there is a huge con?ict in the Oval Of?ce with 01u? so called President Tnunp.

Setting aside the fact that these statements are immature at best, and distract from important policy issues facing our nation, they are also violations of statute 5 CFR 2635.702 which states, among other things, that: An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity.

I am concerned about a federal employee interfering in the management of a private corporation and the First Family attempted to use their position for personal ?nancial gain. I am glad yom? office exists to look into ethical lapses like this. Thank ou, From: To: Contact OGE Subject: Ethics concern Date: Thursday, February 09, 2017 12:39:00 PM To whom it may concem: My name is . I would like to know what is being done regarding Kellyanne Conway's Violation of federal ethics laws by promoting the Ivanka Tnunp line. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone From: To: Contact OGE Subject: Ethics Concern Date: 1hursday, February 09, 2017 1:56:24 PM I?m extremely concerned about Donald Trump's use of the Presidency to promote his daughter?s business and attack for choosing not to cany her products. Not only did he use the Twitter accormt to carry out this seriously lmethical behavior, but he sent his Olmselor, Kellyanne Conway, to appear on Fox Friends to "give it a free commercial". The President should not be using his of?ce for the bene?t of his family, he should be doing so for the bene?t of all of the American people. Please investigate this con?ict of interest and do whatever you can to wane the integrity of the of?ce of president. Thank ou, From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE Ethics Concern Thursday, February 09, 2017 9:40:39 AM Good morning, I'm writing to ask if the OGE is aware of and planning to take action against President Trump's use of his position to promote his daughter's business? The President has used his position and social media presence to manipulate markets several times since the election, but I feel his flagrant use of the official POTUS Twitter account yesterday removes all pretense of his intentions. Counselor Conway has also appeared on Fox News, telling viewers to "buy Ivanka's stuff". I realise that the administration has made it difficult for the OGE to do its job, but recent events have me concerned that they are above the law.  Thank you for your time, (b) (6) From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE Ethics concerns with Trump"s family Friday, February 10, 2017 1:57:17 AM To whom it may concern: Since Mr. Trump was elected, he seems to be taking more and more liberties with his position of power.  The lines between his businesses, the businesses of his family and his position as President of the United States have blurred and overlapped past the point of embarrassment to the point of great worry. I’m writing to express my grave concerns with this increasing pattern of what appears to be abuse of his position for personal gain.  To name only a few, he has promoted his hotel, taxpayers are paying for secret service agents to cover his son(s) while they conduct foreign business on his behalf and he is using the POTUS Twitter account to bully businesses on behalf of his daughter, Ivanka’s business.  Now, his staff are helping, with Kellyanne Conway today blatantly asking Americans to purchase the President’s daughter’s business’ products.  How much more wrong can this get?  One doesn’t need a law degree or a background in ethics to understand this is a HUGE conflict of interest and likely illegal.  It is unfair to those of us who work hard and pay our taxes to have someone in a position of power abuse it for personal gain.  Most Americans do not have the luxury of having our businesses promoted by the President of the United States and his appointees.  Please, please, please investigate this matter.  This is your duty. So much has been allowed to go unchecked that with each day’s news, the revelations become more egregious, yet less startling.  We are becoming desensitized to the degree of this abuse of power.  So try to think back to just a year ago and ask, “What action would be taken if Barack Obama and his appointees were conducting themselves in a similar manner?”  Then please act accordingly in an unbiased manner and follow whatever ethics procedures these matters warrant.

From: To: Contact OGE Subject: Ethics investigation Date: Friday, February 10, 2017 6:20:36 AM I am writing to request a full investigation into the multiple instances of both Trump and Conway's unethical behavior. Conway recently advised the US to buy Ivanka Trumps products when doing an interview with Fox News. This is in direct violation of US. Code 2635.702. Trump claims to have signed away responsibility to his multiple companies, yet has provided no proof of it. Additionally he has failed to release his tax returns and is still being sued. And it appears that he is in violation of the emoluments clause in the constitution. He must be investigated! These issues raise serious questions. At any other time these would immediately be addressed, but he is causing so much chaos that it is obvious no one knows which way to turn. Do something now--begin an investigation. It's all there, so very blatant. He isnt hiding his disregard for the rules of the Constitution. I hope you will begin an immediate and thorough investigation into the multiple instances of misconduct by President Trump and KellyAnne Conway. Thank you for your time.

I know you folks have your hands full but I hope you are watching news feeds. Mr Trlunp has lashed out at a high end store about his daughter's business recently. How is this ethical? Also, I have seen mounting evidence that he has not cut ties to his businesses and continues to earn money thlu his NYE party where guests paid to get in to see him. Is this not unusual?

From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE Ethics of Trump Administration (or Lack Thereof) Friday, February 10, 2017 12:36:15 AM Dear Director Shaub, I am sure you have been inundated by email after Kellyanne Conway's shameless, blatant hawking of Ivanka Trump's clothing line from the White House.Here's another one, because this is such an important issue:  While nothing surprises me anymore from this abominable administration, what I am absolutely heartbroken about is why Trump is getting away with with his utter disregard and contempt for anything that smacks of ethics. Instead of watching the Office of the Presidency, I feel like I'm watching the Godfather. Everyone gets away with everything and Donald Trump walks around telling people he's "going to make them an offer they can't refuse." Yes, Kellyanne Conway is a known liar (like her boss) and the dubious coiner of the term "alternative facts," but the mere fact that it didn't even occur to her that perhaps she should not be using the Office of the President to sell the President's daughter's clothes, has very scary implications. If he can get away with not releasing his tax returns, not divesting his business interests or puttting them in a blind trust, leasing Federal Government property for his DC hotel and breaking the emoluments clause in the Constitution, of all things, why shouldn't his minions do the same?  Perhaps, the Kellyanne Conway incident will act as a springboard to a much greater investigation. Today, Jason Chaffetz wrote a letter. Well, glory be! He has a spine that actually did something nonpartisan. I would like to think he had pure motives and that this will finally lead to the scoundrel releasing his tax returns.  As has been made clear by him, the rules don't apply to Trump. I'm sure you know that. This is why we are all in so much trouble. The Godfather makes his own rules and everyone follows them out of fear. My question is - who's not afraid? Jason Chaffetz? Elijah Cummings? You? You were the first one the stand up to him.  Please keep standing. Thank you.

Maybe they lack a basic understanding of what it means to be ethical, something they could have learned in an introductory course. Any information would be helpful.

Setting aside the fact that these statements are immature at best, and distract from important policy issues facing our nation, they are also violations of statute 5 CFR 2635.702 which states, among other things, that: An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity. An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office in a manner that is intended to coerce or induce another person, including a subordinate, to provide any benefit, financial or otherwise, to himself or to friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity. There is no basis for allowing these statements to stand unchallenged as they are a direct and clear violation of this statute. Your office is bound to investigate, formally charge, and institute the appropriate penalties for these actions. As a citizen who loves America, I am writing to make this demand.

It is my understanding that appointed members are held to a stricter code when it comes to matters like this.     I feel that this was not a slip of the tongue on Mrs.Conways part but rather, a blatant attempt to undermind or skirt around the ethics code altogether.  As a registered voter, I am requesting the proper offices to look into this and hand down a decision. It is not enough to verbally reprimand her in this instance. It is not the job of the Government to do the Presidents bidding. He works for us, the people of the United States and we are counting on ALL branches to do the job that they swore to do.  Please note that I am dipleased with this ethics violation.

A small sampling from recent days: 1. After being told of a Texas state senator who wants to require convictions before the state can forfeit property, Trump asks for the senator's name and says “we’ll destroy his career.” 2. In response to criticism by Senator John McCain that his Yemen operation wasn’t successful, Trump says McCain “only emboldens the enemy! He’s been losing so long he doesn't know how to win anymore.” 3. After Senator Richard Blumenthal relates that his Supreme Court nominee finds Trump’s criticisms of the courts “demoralizing,” Trump blasts Blumenthal “who never fought in Vietnam when he said for years he had (major lie), now misrepresents what Judge Gorsuch told him.” 4. Trump tells the press that “daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom,” after Nordstrom dropped her line due to declining sales. 5. Trump tells military officials that America’s “very dishonest press doesn’t want to report” acts of terrorism. 6. He threatens to “end the sanctuary cities that have resulted in so many needless deaths,” when there’s no evidence of “needless deaths” in sanctuary cities. 7. When his ban on entry to the United States from 7 Muslim countries, which exempts Christians, is stayed by a federal judge, Trump attacks the "so-called judge," saying "if something happens blame him and court system.” 8. He continues to repeats claims of “massive voter fraud” in 2016 election, although has no evidence whatsoever of such fraud. 9. He warns Mexican President Pena Nieto that Trump is ready to send U.S. troops to Mexico to stop "bad hombres down there" if Mexico's military can't control them. 10. Trump berates Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull for assuming the U.S. would follow through on its deal to take some refugees that had come to Australia. 11. At a National Prayer Breakfast Trump asks attendees to "pray for former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger," who replaced him as the host of NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice, because the show’s ratings haven’t reached the level they did with Trump as the star. 12. Trump continues to rake in money from his businesses that benefit from his being president. Every day that goes by, Trump is further disgracing the office he holds.

I am a 71 years old citizen and have always voted carefully for qualified candidates, as responsible citizens should.  I am utterly horrified at the unprecedented and brazen disregard for both legal and traditional standards of ethical behavior displayed by our current president and most of his cabinet appointees and staff.  President Trump’s business conflicts with his elected office are numerous and severe, yet he shows no intent to effectively distance himself from them.  Many of his appointees and staff are in similar straits.  His advisor Kellyanne Conway openly and clearly broke the law in promoting Trump’s daughter’s business products and yet remains defiant as to her actions and claims the President backs her actions.  She and he both deserve serious investigation and punishment for their clear and total disdain for established law, traditional practices of transparency (presidential tax returns) and the importance of honest conduct in office.  I feel strongly that these matters need strong attention and, thus far, have faced almost none.

He has Secret Service and FBI rent out floors in his Trump Tower at taxpayer expense; he has Kellyanne Conway go on a national news program to promote Ivanka Trump products, he has the American taxpayer pay for his son's personal business trip to Uruguay, he uses the official President's account to tweet out negative comments about a company, Nordstrom, that employs 85,000 people simply because they made a decision to not carry his daughter's line, he pressures foreign diplomats to stay at his hotel, he doubles Mar-a-Lago membership fees to $200,000 in an obvious pay to play bid. Details of the extent to which Trump receives profits are kept secret, as we are not allowed to see his tax returns.  Because of his business entanglements, the Presidency of the United States is now subject to the interests of India, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Turkey, etc. Can anything be done before the Office of Government Ethics is dissolved?

It is obvious to most Americans that business concerns are in the fore??ont of his decision making process. He attacked for dropping Ivanka's line of clothing and accessories. He has approved resmning of DAPL which he has invested in. And he lies consistently and without remorse on a daily basis. He has attacked the integrity of our legislative and judicial systems and has tried to silence the dissenters in the press. He is an embarassment. Additionally, his staff members have ethics worries as well. Ivanka and her husband are still involved in their businesses as is Melania. Kellyanne Conway advertised for Ivanka's line on the air.

What spurred my writing just now is President Trump's twitter war now on - for not carrying his daughter's clothing line. This is wrong in so many ways. Nlunber one, if Ivanka Trlunp's husband is in Mr. Trlmip's Cabinet - and Ivanka has a semi-of?cial role in the White House as well - it's not even appropriate for the Tnunp family to have kept this clothing line business. And then for the President to be speaking out and threatening a business over the fact that they've decided to no longer carry the clothing line is totally unethical (and immoral). The American people have had enough of the Trump family's desires to pro?t from Mr. Trump's role - and his compromising our sanity and safety by these activities. There's also the statements this week that Melania Trump is disappointed in not being able to pro?t ?'om the presidency. And President Trlunp being in Violation of the emoluments clause for his worldwide and DC . hotels. And his pro?ting off of Mar-A-Logo. I look forward to hearing about your actions on this matter.

Ms. Kelly Ann Conway on the cable TV show Fox and Friends on February 9, 2017 endorsed the clothing line of Ms. Ivanka Trump. You may be aware that Ms Trump is the Presidents daughter, and is married to Mr. Jared Kushner, who also works in the White House. While endorsing the clothing line and telling us, not asking us, to buy some clothes from Ms. Trump, Ms. Conway had strategically positioned herself so that the White House sign with text and a pictlu?e could be clearly seen behind her. Later on, as I rmder'stand it, Sean Spicer, he works at the White House as well, said Ms Conway had been "cormseled". My concern is that since Ms. Conway's of?cial title is "Counselor to the President of the United States" who is authorized to counsel her? She is, by no stretch, the highest cormselor in the country. Did they bring in a foreigner to counsel her? If so, was the foreigner Muslim? Did the foreigner, or should the foreigner, go through "extreme vetting" Her "corurseling" happened at a pretty rapid pace. 01? perhaps another counselor exceed his authority and counseled her? Those duties would be beyond his pay grade, I would think. Perhaps there is a higher ormselor than Counselor to the President. Boy that would be news, wouldn't it?

Most recently, Kellyanne Conway, a senior advisor to the President, came out on Fox News and urged folks to go out and “buy Ivanka’s stuff”. What’s worse is that the POTUS used the official POTUS twitter account to blast an American retail store for discontinuing a business relationship with his daughter.

However, I feel it may be necessary to add one more voice to the growing dissent our current administration’s break with ethical behavior befitting the institution they occupy. In opening endorsing Trump’s clothing on Fox News, Conway, I believe, violates rules regarding the use of public office for private gain. This comes close on the heels of the POTUS’s recent Twitter campaign against the company Nordstom, of which I am sure you are perfectly aware. I feel it is becoming increasing evident that our president is perfectly content with engaging in crony capitalism.

I understand she was appointed/hired by the president, but even the president is not above the law and thusly, neither is Ms. Conway. Not only is this a problem against the government motives, but it is a public defacing of what America is (or was lurtil recent times). How can I state how disapproving I am over these actions?

I am writing to ask you to investigate the ethical breach and conflict of interest regarding Donald Trump’s latest tweet today against Nordstrom for the company’s decision to stop carrying his daughter’s Ivanka Trump brand.  "The conflicts of interest Trump’s personal and business interests pose are already enormous —I hope the OGE is still pursuing that of the federal post office building that houses Trump International Hotel, which specifically prohibits lessees' holding public office, despite its being nominally run now by his son in a completely ineffective and meaningless divestment attempt. Trump has not effectively divested himself of any of his business interests in anything resembling the blind trust ethics officials recommend, and in fact is still following many of them on Twitter, implying that he maintains a personal interest in their actions and performance. And he continues to profit personally from his office as president—most recently with talk of the DoD renting space at Trump Tower, in addition to taxpayers' paying for the Secret Service to fatten the Trump coffers by renting space there to guard Melania Trump. Trump is rife with unethical, potentially deeply compromising conflicts of interest.  "But now he is using his power and influence as president to comment on business proceedings of a company that directly impacts his daughter’s business. Nordstrom experienced an immediate dip in stock prices after the tweet—it’s far from the first time Trump’s tweets have affected a company’s value (see also here). And it’s certainly an implied pressure on the company to avoid the displeasure of the man who has the power to create not only market dips for them, but regulations that might directly impact their profits. It’s a clear conflict of interest and an abuse of executive power—only the latest of many similar instances —and I urge you to investigate this breach of ethics.

The conflicts of interest Trump’s personal and business interests pose are already enormous— I hope the OGE is still pursuing that of the federal post office building that houses Trump International Hotel, which specifically prohibits lessees' holding public office, despite its being nominally run now by his son in a completely ineffective and meaningless divestment attempt. Trump has not effectively divested himself of any of his business interests in anything resembling the blind trust ethics officials recommend, and in fact is still following many of them on Twitter, implying that he maintains a personal interest in their actions and performance. And he continues to profit personally from his office as president—most recently with talk of the DoD renting space at Trump Tower, in addition to taxpayers' paying for the Secret Service to fatten the Trump coffers by renting space there to guard Melania Trump. Trump is rife with unethical, potentially deeply compromising conflicts of interest. But now he is using his power and influence as president to comment on business proceedings of a company that directly impacts his daughter’s business. Nordstrom experienced an immediate dip in stock prices after the tweet—it’s far from the first time Trump’s tweets have affected a company’s value (see also here). And it’s certainly an implied pressure on the company to avoid the displeasure of the man who has the power to create not only market dips for them, but regulations that might directly impact their profits. It’s a clear conflict of interest and an abuse of executive power—only the latest of many similar instances—and I urge you to investigate this breach of ethics. Sincerely,  A Concerned Citizen From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE Investigation for Ethics violation Thursday, February 09, 2017 1:15:32 PM I would like to cordially request that the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) proceed with an investigation and appropriate enforcement actions as to whether Kellyanne Conway, Counselor to the President, violated 5 C.F.R. 2635.702, “Use of public office for private gain.” On February 9, 2017, White House Counselor Conway made a television appearance on Fox News in which she endorsed the product line of Ivanka Trump and encouraged viewers to buy Trump’s products. Specifically, Conway said on live television: “This is just wonderful line,” she 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.” Such a product endorsement and sales pitch by an employee of the federal government appears to run afoul of 5 C.F.R. 2635.702, which expressly prohibit employees from making such product endorsements. § 2635.702 Use of public office for private gain. An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonprofit organizations of which the employee is an officer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations. The specific prohibitions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section apply this general standard, but are not intended to be exclusive or to limit the application of this section. The action by Conway reflects an on-going careless regard of the conflicts of interest laws and regulations of some members of the Trump family and Trump Administration. While many of these restrictions may not explicitly apply to the President or Vice President, the Administration’s employees are not immune from these ethics rules. Please proceed with an investigation and take appropriate enforcement actions to ensure that all employees of the federal government abide by the conflict of interest laws and regulations.

Conway knows better than give a "free commercial " to  "buy Ivanka's brand." She knew she shouldn't use her position to promote a clothing and jewelry business. Trump should know better, but he apparently thinks he is above the law. I have started re-reading the 1974 book, "The Final Days", by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, about the last three months of Nixon's presidency. It is eerie how similar it is to Trump's administration-- opposing the media; disregarding the judicial process.

I understand that the OGE does not typically investigate cases and prosecute violations, but this is such an extreme situation and it sets such a dangerous precedent in the White House that I am asking the OGE to step in.

It is unethical for the President to use his position to promote his or his children's business interests. Also, Kellyanne Conway violated statute 5 CFR 2635.702 endorsing the purchase of Ivanka Trump's clothing line on Fox News (2/9/2017).This seems to be a violation of Federal Ethics Code Section 5 CFR 2635.702, which states that no executive employee may endorse a product. “An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office to endorse any product, service or enterprise. The Federal Ethics Code also states that an employee “shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product…or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity…” This comes after President Donald Trump attacked Nordstrom on Twitter for their decision to drop Ivanka Trump’s clothing label.

Sincerely, A Very Concerned Citizen From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE Conway Interview and Trump Visit to Mar-A-Lago Sunday, February 12, 2017 4:37:52 PM To Whom It May Concern, I am a concerned US citizen.  I was shocked over the past week by several actions taken by the White House staff and President Trump.  I believe these actions should be investigated by the Office of Government Ethics: Kellyanne Conway's February 9th interview on a major news network during which she gave a 'free commercial' for Ivanka Trump's clothing/accessories line.  In my opinion and consistent with the letter sent to you by the US House Committee on Oversight and Government reform - her statements are a clear violation of the ethics laws.   I believe that White House officials should be held to the highest possible ethics standards and should avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest.  It is unacceptable to me that the President's Counsellor should be allowed to continue in her current position.   I am further appalled that another White House staffer this morning, Stephen Miller, during multiple interviews this morning on several major networks, would defend Conway's actions and imply that concerns from the House Committee on Oversight as well as citizens like myself, were overstated.  The fact that another senior advisor does not seem to grasp the seriousness of the allegations or display any respect for the rules, should be grounds for counseling of Mr. Miller, if not dismissal. I also believe that actions such as these - so close together - highlight what could be a culture of indifference to ethics in the White House.  I urge the OGE to investigate what standard is being set by the senor leadership as well as what specific training has been given to White House staffers.  Based on this week, I suggest an immediate intervention and refocusing on ethics is warranted. Finally, I have been utterly shocked that that OGE has not investigated and insisted that President Trump fully divest his business interests.  The steps take to date do not, in my view, constitute adequate separate to ensure there are no conflicts of interest.  I point to the official visit this weekend by President Trump and Prime Minister Abe.  The taxpayers paid for this visit.  The bills paid to Mar-A-Lago for use of the facilities, or food or anything else, in part will benefit Donald Trump and his family.  I do not know whether this trip was competitively bid to other properties, but I suspect it was not.  Therefore, the President selected use of his own business for a state visit, paid for by hardworking citizens like me.  Surely this must be an ethics violation and potentially a violation of the emoluments clause in the constitution if Japan paid any portion of the bill. I urge you to ?Jlly investigate these matters and hold the White House and President to the highest ethical standards for the good of 0m country.

Federal govermnent employees are prohibited from endorsing products or services on behalf of friends, family, or associates. Ordinarily, we would expect the White House to the a senior staff member who blatantly broke the law--but this is no ordinary White House.

But these ethical questions go beyond russia and beyond d.j. trump. Several issues regarding his nominated cabinet members and advisors--most notably, m. ?ynn, r. tillerson, s. bannon, a. puzdar, t. price. j. kushner, k?a. conway and even behind-the-scenes and unof?cial advisor, daughter, i. trump. There is no doubt that con?ict of issues remain for some these people, including the "so- called" president (see, I can play his game). Whether it be by businesses they continue to own, despite stepping down from their active participation in daily operations, businesses they ran, relationships they had with other cormtries, money they made in stock portfolios.

This is only the latest in a series of ethical lapses and questionable actions by the crurent administration: 0 President Trump's failure to release his tax retruns or divest from his companies 0 The Trump International Hotel lease at the Old Post Of?ce Pavilion 0 President Trump's tweets chastising for its business decision to stop carrying Ivanka Trump's clothing line The Trump administration must not be allowed to use the Presidency for personal enrichment.

Get them to act with decorum, grace and honesty. You MUST make it clear to them that they HAVE TO stop BOTH endorsing products AND using the Offices of President, First Lady and First Family as a means to advance their own personal financial interests and gain -- e.g., absentee First Lady hawking her QVC junk to White House visitors AND suing a British reporter for interfering with her "once in a lifetime opportunity" to financially benefit from being the First Lady -- certainly Conway/ Nordstrom has to be investigated but it goes so much deeper than that! The daughter and the wife CANNOT sell products on any kind anywhere while being attached to the Offices of President, First Lady, even First Family. Trump  himself MUST disclose the countries he does business in and/ or with -- MUST DISCLOSE THIS! Americans have the right to know if he is advancing his own financial gains by policies and actions and the like he may make with these countries. For example, does he do business in and/ or with Japan? We have the right to know this -- otherwise, given all the above, ALL of Trump's family and Trump himself are in blatant disregard and violation of the Standards of Conduct - are you kidding me? Ethics office -- DO SOMETHING -- Conway is a good start but why are you not taking on (1) The GOP who is responsible for Trump (2) Trump himself and (3) the absentee First Lady and the money-grubbing daughter, etc. Both of you DO SOMETHING about what Trump did at Mar-A-whatever -- FIRST he created FAKE NEWS by pretending that the call that this so-called N. Korea national security breach came to him in the middle of dinner when it was clearly set up to come in during the dinner -- SECOND he proceeded to discuss issues of national security in public!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fake or real, discussing issues of National Security in a RESTAURANT is completely wrong and against many policies -- issues of National Security CANNOT be used as publicity stunts. You both -- GOP & Ethics -- must do something to forestall a terrorist attack orchestrated by Trump when he does not get his way in trying to illegally block the entrance to America by travelers holding valid Visas. Ethics Office and GOP both of you are failing to advise and protect the American people from this onslaught of impropriety. I do not know what the hell is wrong with Trump and his wife and family, but I can clearly see what is wrong with the GOP and the Ethics Office!!! You are NOT doing enough. Trump does unethical stuff all day long.

Kellyann Conway needs more than a slap on the wrist for selling, on TV, daughter?s clothing line. If lower level government employees would be subject to suspension for such an offense, Conway?s penalty should be more severe; she represents the president. 3.

They have caved to the demands and pressures of these liberals who have misinterpreted the First Amendment thinking it is only for them. Where is the ethic in that?  What happened to the rights of the American people who don't agree with the liberal views? Why do they have to suffer the consequences of their "First Amendment Right" just because the liberals are throwing tantrums to get their way?We have a new President of the United States who has been harassed, disrespected and blocked at every attempt to do what the American people elected him to do!  His family has also been unfairly targeted and attacked.  I have always been proud to be an American and now I feel nothing but disgusted and ashamed.  I fear for the future and safety of my children and grandchildren. To lose the sense of safety and security we the American people have had and are entitled to is the biggest tragedy. As our divided country continues to have violent protests and unrest, we have become vulnerable to the world.

In a time when we are getting glimpses of profound levels of government corruption this is totally ridiculous. Although Kellyanne’s plea for us to buy Ivanka products was inadvisable it was most certainly not a corrupt action. She was simply defending Ivanka Trump from the current media nastiness and the far lefts’ attempts to utterly destroy Ivanka’s business. Again, this was not a corrupt action. That you are investigating this shows me that your organization engages in farces or political pandering to various mean spirited parties. We the people are exhausted by the all consuming politics and corruption of Washington, DC. That is why Donald Trump was elected. So please do your job with more seriousness and stop chasing honest people who made a simple mistake. Her heart was in the right place. Motive counts. This was not corruption.

Will you also be investigating Flynn and Trump about their ties to Russia? Perhaps you can only advise on who you think should be investigated, and Congress has to initiate the investigation. In that case, I hope you will strongly advise Congress to investigate Flynn and Trump. Honestly, I do not understand how the POTUS can avoid investigation if he/she does something that breaks the law. Is it truly up to Congress, or do the people of the United States have any say in it?  Trump has evaded his responsibilities of divesting from his businesses for far too long. He has resisted releasing his tax returns for far too long. The American people have a right to know what conflicts of interest he has with foreign powers. Our national security is at risk! I wonder what it will take for his house of cards to start falling down around him. As our chief Ethics officer, PLEASE do everything in your power to force Trump to release his tax returns and divest himself of his businesses!  Thank you!  (b) (6) A very concerned citizen!  (b) (6) Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device -------- Original message -------From: (b) (6) Date: 2/10/17 6:14 AM (GMT-06:00) To: ContactOGE@oge.gov Subject: Investigation of Trump Mr. Shaub,  Since you met with Mr. Chavetz, I have not heard anything from you about pushing for Trump to divest from his businesses and put them in a blind trust.

Donald Trrunp has the ultimate say on how or if Ms Conway is reprimanded or punished, which of course means that there will absolutely no consequences for her clearly illegal actions.

Please tell Mr. Miller that I am not in the media, I am an American, and I ABSOLUTELY CARE THAT MS CONWAY IS IN VIOLATION OF ETHICS LAWS AND NO ONE IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS DOING ANY TI-HNG TO REC TIFY THE SITUATION.

I urge you to take action against Kellyanne Conway for her remarks that suggested people ought to buy products manufactured or sold by Ivanka Trump. This violates CFR – § 2635.702 Use of public office for private gain, which states, “An employee shall not use his public office for… the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise” What’s more – a Washington Post story reported today (Feb. 12th 2017) that National security adviser Michael Flynn lied about conversations he had with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. (before Trump’s inauguration). In these conversations, he discussed the loosening of Russia’s sanctions. I would like to echo Ms. Pelosi’s request to the House Intelligence Committee to suspend and revoke Mr. Flynn’s security clearance. I also feel that this violates basic human ethics – politicians should not so easily get away with lying. This has too long been the norm.   I am becoming more and more concerned about the desire of the Trump administration, and his cabinet members, to represent the interests of the American people.

This is utterly ridiculous!  Ms. Conway made – to the best of my knowledge – a one time, “knee-jerk” comment that admittedly was inappropriate.  But this does not rise to the level of a consistent pattern on Ms. Conway’s part of promoting Ivanka Trump merchandise or Trump International’s business interests. If your office cannot see that I can only conclude that this recommendation of yours is nothing more than yet another ideological witch-hunt of someone in the Trump administration.

To promote the president's daughters fashion line on live television is absolutely disgusting and an obvious ethical violation. She must be punished and made an example of or your entire organization is absolutely meaningless. I also feel the president of the United States has also violated the ethics that you are supposed to uphold by tweeting about his daughter's fashion line. Not to mention he has also not fully divested from his business interests. As a tax paying American citizen I demand a full investigation of both of these individuals. If something is not done, your organization should be called into question for not doing your jobs. I am absolutely appalled at the behavior I have witnessed in the past three weeks.

According to my review of the ethics involved in this matter, it would seem that she has violated the Standards of Conduct Act and should be disciplined. There has to be a line drawn hard for the Trump Administration in the midst of their tremendous lies and lack of transparency. This time. Kellyamie was bold enough to do it 011 national TV.

From: To: Contact OGE Subject: Kellyanne Conway Date: Saturday, February 11, 2017 2:01:03 PM To whom it may concern, It is unethical, and perhaps illegal, for the president or his of?cials to use their positions to promote his or his family's brands and business interests. I am glad that Representatives Chaffetz and Cummings have called for your of?ce to recommend disciplinary action against Kellyanne Conway and I hope that yoru? of?ce carries out that responsibility in accord with the law. The president's failure to release his tax retluns or place his business in a blind trust indicates a lack of respect for ethics in govermnent and puts the country at risk of having its leadership act in their individual interests rather than in the best interest of the nation.

Your committee investigation would be a farce. Did your committee investigation Pres. Obama for lying when he said, "If you like your insurance, you can keep it", or when he said, "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.....period".  Is lying not an ethical issue worthy of investigation?  How about when, Hillary Clinton said in regards to Bengasi, "At this point in time, what difference does it make".  Is that not an ethical issue?  How about when Harry Reid lied about Mitt Romney not filing his income taxes? Reid admitted that he lied, but he was never investigated by your Ethics Committee. I think before you investigate Kellyanne, your committee should take care of  your backlog of cases that you should have processed and didn't.  If you do that, it will be years before you ever get around to Kellyanne.

My understanding is that the Executive branch - and its complete staff - are not allowed to promote the business interests of the Executive, including those that benefit the sitting President’s family. Mr. Trump’s family and staff are to work on behalf of American’s citizens’ interest first and only; and not to the benefit of his family’s financial success.  This is an explicit conflict of interest, which joins a host of others, in which Mr. Trump and his family are not acting to support the rules, regulations, norms and standards of the Executive Branch.   Please let me know if there will be any action in pursuit of this goal.

The following should be investigated … Mike Flynn’s conversations with the Russian ambassador, during the last part of the Obama administration.  These conversations included discussion of the Russian sanctions. The Yemen raid, authorized by President Trump.  Were all possible pre-raid analyses carried out to ensure minimal casualties?   Should an interdepartmental analysis be encouraged prior to future missions? Is there a conflict of interest in President Trump holding meetings with international leaders, such as the Prime Minister of Japan, Abe Shinzo, at Mare Lago?  President Trump has recently doubled the Mare Lago Country Club membership fee.  Is it a conflict of interest that his businesses could be profiting from his government affairs?  In addition, Ivanka Trump is attempting to open an apparel business in Japan.  Is this a conflict of interest? On government time, Kellyanne Conway, counselor to President Trump, publicly encouraged people to purchase Ivanka Trump’s clothing line.  Sean Spicer has also discussed Ivanka’s businesses in public on government time.  By tweeting about relative to Ivanka ?s businesses, is President Tnunp creating an atmosphere where the lines between government and family business are so blurred. that there are inherent con?icts contrary to law? Will the Republicans in Congress stand up to these abuses? Will they defend the United States Constitution?

Nordstrom’s recently announced that it was dropping Ivanka's line, and the President took to twitter to blast the retailer, from his social media Accounts, Donald Trump Jr. asked people to cut up their Nordstrom's cards and KellyAnne Conway went on Fox and actively suggested people buy her line. It is unethical (and illegal) for the president and his family members and employees to use their positions to promote her business interests.  Can you direct me to the proper place to go to file a complaint about this?

My larger concern is the President of the United States lying to the American people several times a day, every day. Every time he tweets out false information he is lying to the public. Every time he makes voter fraud accusations with virtually NO EVIDENCE to back up these claims, he is lying to the public. He says things like "we have the highest murder rate in 47 years," even though there is data to prove this statement is a lie. I could go on and on and on, as you know. Is there no rule that prohibits the president from blatantly lying to the people? Do our laws allow this? Are we just going to sit by while our president lies to the American people on a daily basis? It's not like we don't have an overwhelming amount of evidence of this every day... all we have to do is check his twitter account. Right now, he is lying about frivolous, ridiculous things like crowd size, but if we do not hold him accountable now it will continue and he will become even more dangerous than he already is...

Hard to imagine they didn't discuss business and financial affairs of her brand regardless of her claim to be divested from her company. Most interestingly, though, is the manner in which Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, sheltered their faces and didn't wave when they entered the plane, in contrast to the President and his wife and the Prime Minister and his wife who waved vigorously just moments before.  While likely not an ethics violation, she certainly takes advantage of every opportunity to benefit from her father's relationship the  Prime Minister.

It was also especially unethical for Kellyanne Conway to promote Ivanka's line and tell the public to go buy her "stuff" while being interviewed on FOX TV. This is not the first time she has broken the Federal Government's ethics rules, but she seems to know how to get around the governing laws for employees of the Federal Government. She constantly lies (as does Sean Spicer) and speaks falsehoods and untruths, and it seems like she does this on purpose. Of course Kellyanne will defend herself by playing ignorant of the law, but she should know better and should be held legally responsible for what comes out of her mouth. She gets away doing and saying anything she wants including "alternative facts" and she needs to be held accountable. And, our President has clearly shown his conflict of interests and should also be held accountable.  Why would the Ethics Dept of our government let either of them get away with their conflict of interests! Please prosecute. At the very least, she needs to resign or be fired.

McGahn White House Counsel 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Director Shaub and Mr. McGahn: I am writing to you because it appears that Kelly Ann Conway violated federal law, ethics regulations, and other standards of conduct yesterday when she provided a “free commercial” for Ivanka Trump’s line of apparel and attacked and tried to economically damage the Nordstrom department store chain. As consumers, we vote with our feet and pocketbook.  We are the one’s not buying the Ivanka Trump products; consequently, to accuse Nordstroms (and Macys before that) of politically responding to Mr. Trump’s policies by no longer carrying his daughter’s line is absolutely ridiculous.  As a businessman who has destroyed many a small business, Mr. Trump knows this all too well.  Ms. Conway was clearly acting in her official capacity during the FOX & Friends interview when she told her viewers to go out and buy from the Ivanka Trump line.  She claimed that Nordstroms was “unfairly”  treating Ivanka; this was dishonest because she did not inform or remind her viewers that Ms. Trump supposedly has distanced herself from the line.  She was preying on the pocketbook of people who will do almost anything to support President Trump by claiming to these poor supporters that Ivanka was being punished.  If Ivanka is separated from her business then Ivanka was not being attacked, damaged or being treated unfairly.  However, encouraging supporters to go out and buy very likely has damaged those supporters because they spent money they needed for food, rent and other basic necessities. Federal ethics regulations clearly prohibit any employee from endorsing “any product, service or enterprise? and federal law fruther prohibits the use of public for non-of?cial pmposes. I believe Ms. Conway knowingly violated these regulations; it wasn?t just some innocent, impulsive comment. Ivanka is reportedly an established business woman who is apparently in support of fair trade. She knew a month ago sales of her products were waning in numerous businesses and that those companies needed to make other business decisions. These business decisions are the result of consumer response to a product; the businesses are not making political statements through discontinuation of her lines. I am deeply concerned about what appears to be yet one more example of a trend of this behavior from Ms. Conway and President Tnunp and his cabinet members and srurogates. I hope you will investigate this apparent violation and review this destructive pattern. Please take any and all necessary disciplinary action related to this situation and trend.

This was an outrageous ethics violation and something that has never been done before in any other presidency.  If we as a country do not hold this presidency to the standards expected of every other President before him, then we can no longer call ourselves a democratic society worthy of the world’s admiration. You have no doubt received a swarm of such requests so I am adding to the pile.  Do not overlook this or let this President sweep this violation under the carpet with another of his scandalous Tweeting tirades.  This is a gross violation and if this is not addressed and punished then what will be?  She should be forced to resign.  The Trumps should be forced to present their tax returns, showing in print with every media organization their filings to turn over their business affairs to holding companies and present verification that they have no business dealings that may present conflict of interest with the prestige the office of the President is supposed to uphold.  This has been a disgraceful presidency so far and he and his family need to be held accountable for their indiscriminate actions and unfettered violations thus far never experienced before.

An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office in a manner that is intended to coerce or induce another person, including a subordinate, to provide any benefit, financial or otherwise, to himself or to friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity. There is no basis for allowing these statements to stand unchallenged as they are a direct and clear violation of this statute.  Your office is bound to investigate, formally charge, and institute the appropriate penalties for these actions.  As a citizen who loves America, I am writing to make this demand.

Demand she be formally charged and penalized by contacting the following: U.S. Office of Government Ethics 1201 New York Avenue NW, Ste. 500 Washington, DC 20005 (202) 482-9300 contactOGE@oge.gov AND Mr. Donald McGahn White House Counsel 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Sec 2635.702 Use of public office for private gain. An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonprofit organizations of which the employee is an officer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations. The specific prohibitions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section apply this general standard, but are not intended to be exclusive or to limit the application of this section. (a)Inducement or coercion of benefits. An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office in a manner that is intended to coerce or induce another person, including a subordinate, to provide any benefit, financial or otherwise, to himself or to friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity. Example 1: Offering to pursue a relative's consumer complaint over a household appliance, an employee of the Securities and Exchange Commission called the general counsel of the manufacturer and, in the course of discussing the problem, stated that he worked at the SEC and was responsible for reviewing the company's filings. The employee violated the prohibition against use of public office for private gain by invoking his official authority in an attempt to influence action to benefit his relative. Example 2: An employee of the Department of Commerce was asked by a friend to determine why his firm's export license had not yet been granted by another office within the Department of Commerce. At a department-level staff meeting, the employee raised as a matter for official inquiry the delay in approval of the particular license and asked that the particular license be expedited. The official used her public office in an attempt to benefit her friend and, in acting as her friend's agent for the purpose of pursuing the export license with the Department of Commerce, may also have violated 18 U.S.C. 205. (b)Appearance of governmental sanction. Except as otherwise provided in this part, an employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office in a manner that could reasonably be construed to imply that his agency or the Government sanctions or endorses his personal activities or those of another. When teaching, speaking, or writing in a personal capacity, he may refer to his official title or position only as permitted by § 2635.807(b). He may sign a letter of recommendation using his official title only in response to a request for an employment recommendation or character reference based upon personal knowledge of the ability or character of an individual with whom he has dealt in the course of Federal employment or whom he is recommending for Federal employment. Example 1: An employee of the Department of the Treasury who is asked to provide a letter of recommendation for a former subordinate on his staff may provide the recommendation using official stationery and may sign the letter using his official title. If, however, the request is for the recommendation of a personal friend with whom he has not dealt in the Government, the employee should not use official stationery or sign the letter of recommendation using his official title, unless the recommendation is for Federal employment. In writing the letter of recommendation for his personal friend, it may be appropriate for the employee to refer to his official position in the body of the letter. (c)Endorsements. An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office to endorse any product, service or enterprise except: (1) In furtherance of statutory authority to promote products, services or enterprises; or (2) As a result of documentation of compliance with agency requirements or standards or as the result of recognition for achievement given under an agency program of recognition for accomplishment in support of the agency's mission. Example 1: A Commissioner of the Consumer Product Safety Commission may not appear in a television commercial in which she endorses an electrical appliance produced by her former employer, stating that it has been found by the CPSC to be safe for residential use. Example 2: A Foreign Commercial Service officer from the Department of Commerce is asked by a United States telecommunications company to meet with representatives of the Government of Spain, which is in the process of procuring telecommunications services and equipment. The company is bidding against five European companies and the statutory mission of the Department of Commerce includes assisting the export activities of U.S. companies. As part of his official duties, the Foreign Commercial Service officer may meet with Spanish officials and explain the advantages of procurement from the United States company. Example 3: The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency may sign a letter to an oil company indicating that its refining operations are in compliance with Federal air quality standards even though he knows that the company has routinely displayed letters of this type in television commercials portraying it as a “trustee of the environment for future generations.” Example 4: An Assistant Attorney General may not use his official title or refer to his Government position in a book jacket endorsement of a novel about organized crime written by an author whose work he admires. Nor may he do so in a book review published in a newspaper. (d)Performance of official duties affecting a private interest. To ensure that the performance of his official duties does not give rise to an appearance of use of public office for private gain or of giving preferential treatment, an employee whose duties would affect the financial interests of a friend, relative or person with whom he is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity shall comply with any applicable requirements of § 2635.502. (e)Use of terms of address and ranks. Nothing in this section prohibits an employee who is ordinarily addressed using a general term of address, such as “The Honorable”, or a rank, such as a military or ambassadorial rank, from using that term of address or rank in connection with a personal activity.

I do agree that the first family should be protected but hearing that in order for them to be protected is to actually rent out rooms in Trump Tower for security.

This is clearly a violation of federal ethics regulations which state that an employee "shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity." Please recommend disciplinary action to the White House - they claim to have "counseled" her, but that is insufficient for such a flagrant violation. Likewise, President Trump is in violation of his 60-year lease of the government owned Post Office building in Washington, which prohibits any elected official (including the President) from being the lessee. This too calls for disciplinary action. The Trump administration acts as though they are above the law and not subject to ethical guidelines.

These statements violate federal ethics regulations, which clearly state that public officials cannot use their official capacities for their own private gain, or for the private gain of others. Please investigate Ms. Conway's overtly prohibited actions and take any and all enforcement actions against Ms. Conway to send a message that even the President's staff is not immune to the law. Thank you.

An employee shall not use his public o?ice for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity Om' White House allows publicly paid employees to promote actively the commercial interests of the President's family members.

Kellyanne Conway's interview on "Fox & Friends" where she unequivocally advertised for Ivanka Trump's shoe line was completely out of line. For MONTHS, Donald Trump, his family & his campaign, have said his family's business will not cross over into his administration as President, but time & time again, it has. Kellyanne Conway represents his administration & as part of her duty as a federal employee, she is not allowed to advertise or endorse products however, she did...and it was on live TV. If something isn't done to reprimand Kellyanne Conway after this incident what will the next weeks, months, years be like? How out of control will she become?! Trumps administration has said she was "counseled" after this...that is NOT enough. The American people want more than a "counseling".

Nordstrom evidently made it’s business decision and she should accept it, as well as President Trump. I believe the Ethics Committee will make a decision as to the discipline, my idea would be to either put KellyAnne Conway on probation for the next 4 years, because she is a lawyer, she recognized her error, but sometimes those types of errors and the apologizing that she has done with CNN for the ‘alternative facts’ mentioned on Meet the Press, to the Bowling Green massacre” – I’m not sure which news outlet she declared that; but it’s either time for her to resign, or go on probation. Or if you have the power to “fire” her, do so.  I don’t think it’s professional, President Trump’s “team” hasn’t been honest.  Please at the very least put her on probation for the next 4 years, or ask for her resignation, fire her if you deem it necessary.

I believe this violates the law. If it does not, it certainly violates the ethical standards federal employees are required to meet. I am calling for an immediate investigation into this and proper disciplinary action if necessary.

As a citizen and taxpayer of the United States, I strongly believe that the White House should not be used as a TV studio to plug anything that is for sale by anyone. The fact that this was exactly what was done by Kellyanne Conway (as a member of the current administration is an employee of the citizens) on live TV this morning is sm?ely a violation of several laws of our country.

(b) (6) From: To: Contact OGE Subject: KellyAnne Infomercial please say no to this unethical behavior Date: Friday, February 10, 2017 4:43:51 AM Hello, Thanks to you folks for existing. I'm adding my voice to the onslaught of others regarding KellyAnne Conway's Ivanka Tnunp ommercial/interview. Ms.Conway is a smart woman - she knows what she's doing. Please don't let her play dumb on this - it is calculated. Please investigate, censure, what ever make Slu'e this does not become the new status quo. This is either a test to see what they can get away with as far as marketing and personal pro?t, or it is a massive distraction. Perhaps from fully investigating the Russian interference with the election - this seems to have disappeared we haven't forgotten. Or perhaps to take some of the spotlight off Steve Bannon in the NSC - please have him replaced with somebody quali?ed, experienced and not a 'Fourth olumn' doomsday wannonger. A political appointee has no business being on this council. I do lmderstand a father wanting to protect his daughter? that is human, but this is all the more reason for his children not to be his of?cial advisors, handlers&staff. Isn't there a nepotism law about these things? Prior to the election Mr.Tnunp said he 'bet I could make money at this'. We're hearing that Mrs.Tr1unp wants to promote her brand modeling as well - she's free to do what she likes but the WhiteHouse of?cial Gov channels are not the place for family members to peddle their wares. Please do not let the Whitehouse become the executive branch of QVC . Patriotism should never be measm'ed by the amormt of Trump brand, foreign made merchandise we feel compelled to buy as a proof of loyalty. I am sympathetic to Mrs. Trump wanting her child to stay in his school, that is being a good mother - he should be a good father and good President and pay for any overage beyond the designated Secret Service that Wife&Child would be accorded were they living in the Whitehouse. He had plenty of time to ?nd out what the JOB of President entails - it is an actual job - he is not the King. We have veterans sleeping on the street and children going huneg at night. This is a man who complains about fathers numing off and not paying for their children - yet he is expecting tax payers to pick 11p the bill for what comes down to Gov. Subsidized Housing for his own wife and child. I doubt he's aware of any of this, he does not seem to understand how the Government unis. I'd guess in many ways he's just as frustrated as we are. That is why it is so important that he is Slu?romided with people who DO know what they are doing, and are acting in the best interest of the c01mt1y and not just smiling, nodding and pushing their own agendas. Again, thank you for doing yom' best to hold the country together. We're going to measure this regime in dog years. I'm sure it seems even longer to you good folks.

From trump's failure to divest, to him using the Oval Office to condemn Nordstrom, and then to the sewer-rat barbie conway's  promotion of ivanka trump's wares, your unprecedented inaction highlights the politicization of the OGE.   Your agency is impotent and laughable.

Shaub, Jr. Director U.S. Of?ce of Government Ethics 1201 New York Avenue NW Washington, DC. 20005 Dear Mr. Shaub: Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway gave a public interview this morning that raised extremely serious concerns. During the interview, Conway advertised and endorsed a commercial line of products associated with President Trump?s daughter, Ivanka Trump.1 Conway was acting in her of?cial capacity, was identi?ed as ?Counselor to President Trump,? and gave the interview at the White House in front of the White House seal.2 During the interview, Conway discussed the decision by some U.S. companies to cease sales of products from Ivanka?s fashion line, which is named after Ivanka and in which she holds an ownership stake.3 In the. course of the interview, Conway repeatedly and explicitly endorsed Ivanka Trump?s products. She stated, ?Go buy lvanka?s stuff is what I would tell you.? Later, she said, ?It?s a wonderful line. I own some of it. I fully I?m going to give a free commercial here. Go buy it today, everybody. You can ?nd it online.?4 Conway?s statements clearly violate the ethical principles for federal employees and are unacceptable. The White House?s reported decision to counsel Conway supports this conclusion.5 Conway?s statements appear to violate federal ethics regulations, which prohibit actions that imply a government endorsement of the ?personal activities? of another person. Speci?cally, Of?ce of Government Ethics (OGE) regulations state: [A]n employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public of?ce in a manner that Fox Friends (Fox News television broadcast Feb. 9, 2017Louis Nelson, White House: onwag: Has Been ?Counseled'for Urgng Peopie to Big; Ivanka's Products, POLITICO, Feb. 9, 2017, available at white-house?react?234856. The Honorable Walter M. Shaub, Jr. February 9, 2017 Page 2 could reasonably be construed to imply that his agency or the Government sanctions or endorses his personal activities or those of another.6 *arar An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public of?ce to endorse any product, service or enterprise . . . .7 In this case, Conway?s statements from the White House using her of?cial title could appear to constitute an explicit endorsement and advertisement for Ivanka Trump?s personal business activities. As the director of OGE, you have authority to review potential ethics violations and notify the employee?s agency, which in this case is the White House. In this case, there is an additional challenge, which is that the President, as the ultimate disciplinary authority for White House employees, has an inherent conflict of interest since Conway?s statements relate to his daughter?s private business. For this reason, we request that you use authority Congress granted to you under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, as amended, to ?recommend to the head of the of?cer?s or employee?s agency that appropriate disciplinary action (such as reprimand, suspension, demotion, or dismissal) be brought against the of?cer or employee.?8 We request you review Conway?s statements and act on the basis of your ?ndings. We also ask you to report back to the Committee with your recommendation for disciplinary action, if warranted. Sincerely, Jason Chaffetz E.

It is particularly galling that the president used the account to complain that is treating his daughter tmfairly. Additionally, I urge OGE to address the con?icts of interest inherent in the president's refusal to step away from his businesses. NPR reported today that the revocable trust setup by the president, supposedly to act as a ?rewall, uses the president's personal social secmity nlunber and its purpose is to hold assets for the "exclusive bene?t of Donald J.

Once again, proof that the first family is using The White House for commercial purposes. The President has already been warned for this type of behavior, but the warning has failed to make significant change in the behavior of this Administration, which leads me to believe that ethics are not highly valued by this Administration.

Best Regards (b) (6) From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE Office of Government Ethics, Ethics Director Walter Shaub:: KellyAnne Conway -- Breach of § 2635.702 Friday, February 10, 2017 2:17:05 PM Dear Director Shaub, Yesterday, Feb. 9, 2017, Ms. Kellyanne Conway, employed by the Executive Office as a senior advisor to President Donald Trump, standing directly in front of the White House Seal in the briefing room, addressed listeners across the country, to “Go buy Ivanka’s stuff, is what I would tell you."  Conway then added “I hate shopping, but I’m going to go get some for myself today.” Earlier that Thursday morning, during an appearance on Fox News, Kellyanne Conway also directed Fox News’ viewers, "As several department stores, including Nordstrom, have announced they are either scaling back or dropping Ivanka Trump’s clothing line entirely, to go buy Ivanka’s stuff” . Conway’s TWO “free commercials” for Ivanka Trump’s brand on DOES violate federal ethics law. The Code of Federal Regulation, §2635.702 states that, "An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity…" Richard Painter, a former chief ethics lawyer to former President George W. Bush and a professor of corporate law at the University of Minnesota, stated, “that was strictly forbidden in the Bush administration because it is illegal.” Also, Don W. Fox, a former general counsel and former acting director for the Office of Government Ethics, said Conway’s “encouragement to buy Ivanka’s stuff would seem to be a clear violation of rules prohibiting misuse of public office for anyone’s private gain.” The White House has so many business entanglements that they can barely utter more than a syllable without finding themselves violating an ethics rule. Not to mention the fact that, also yesterday, the president was essentially doing a version of what Conway did today when he lashed out at Nordstrom for dropping his daughter’s clothing line. In a rare display of bipartisanship, Reps. Chaffetz and Cummings wrote that “Conway’s statements clearly violate the ethical principles for federal employees and are unacceptable.” Chaffetz and Cummings also urged also to punish Conway, saying that Trump himself doesn’t have the capacity to do so because the case poses an “inherent conflict of interest” for him. I join them in their joint request to you, Director Shaub, to recommend an appropriate punishment to the White House because the case represents an "inherent conflict of interest" for President Trump. The disciplinary action should include suspension, demotion or dismissal. The  "counseling" referred to by Mr. Springer is totally insufficient for this breach of ethics!! Nepotism should never be tolerated and the law must be enforced. Thanks you for you consideration. Sincerely.

The blatant public promotion of Trump family brands and business by President Donald Trump and his adviser, KellyAnne Conway. 2. The numerous conflicts of interest created by President Trump’s business holdings with respect to his international diplomatic work and relationships. 3. The acquisition by President Trump’s businesses (indirectly via off-shore accounts) of a portion of a Russian state-owned oil company. 4. The nepotism inherent in President Trump’s administration by virtue of his retaining his children as key advisers, even as they continue in their management roles over Trump businesses. 5. The blatant falsehoods spoken and repeated by President Trump and his staff, including untrue statistics related to murder rates, crimes committed by immigrants, EPA data, etc. I’m sure there are other ethical conflicts in this administration that deserve being investigated and brought to light, but the above are the most heinous breaches of ethics currently visible. I am a registered voter in the state of Washington, and I care very deeply for the future of this country. I want my children to be able to trust their elected leaders.

There appears to be collaboration and collusion between Trump and Conway regarding the most recent ethics violation, surrounding the Trump clothing lines. Conway openly endorsed Trump clothing lines on national television. A bipartisan letter was released by House Oversight Committee alerting Trump to the violation. Thm?sday evening I listened to Conway speak of the incident from an urn'epentant position. Further she said Trump supported her 100%. Tnunp has attacked a reputable company that employs 86,000 Americans because that company dropped a Tnunp line. Additionally, Tnunp is in breach of his Washington DC Hotel lease. WHEN IS THIS ADMINISTRATION GOING TO BE HELD AC OUNTABLE. The Tnunp regime believes it is above the law. We are approaching a serious Constitutional crisis. OGE and the American people knew these con?icts of interest would occru?. It?s starting just 20 plus days into the administration. We, the American people urge OGE and Congress to take action immediately to sternly reprimand Trump and Conway. A reply is always welcome. Sincerely, From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE President of the US Thursday, February 09, 2017 11:50:23 AM Good morning, I am confused and concerned for my country as we have a new President who operates in a questionable manner. Why is Trump allowed to profit from being our President of the USA?  He has retained  ownership of his businesses and only handed day to day control to his sons.  He is still listed as an executive producer on The Celebrity which tells me he still has a financial interest. He has illegally  pushed through the Dakota Access Pipeline and assuming this has been reported correctly, he has invested in the companies who are building it and who own it. He is wanting to repeal Dodd-Frank (because his business "friends" can't get loans), Secret Service and FBI having to rent out floors in Trump Tower, the taxpayer having to pay $97,000 (if correctly reported) for his son to take a personal business trip. As the President of the USA, he has attacked (from his personal Twitter account) an American company. A company that employs 85,000 people because they made a business decision regarding his daughter's clothing line. He then tweeted from the official President's account.  He clearly has one foot in the White House and one foot in the family businesses. The conflicts of interest and the people he has appointed are from his business world, his buddies.  They are all intertwined and clearly the appointments made are for personal gain and not for the good of America. This email is just a small sampling of conflicts of interest and questionable behavior. And why have we not seen his tax returns?  He plays by his owns rules and it is being allowed. It has got to stop!  He will destroy this country.  He has already begun to destroy all the hard work from the past.  Trump needs to be investigated for at least conflict of interest and then go from there. As a citizen, how do I request an investigation on a government employee? Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

I realize that he is a man who happens to be a father so he will have feelings on what happened. However, he is the President of the United States and his behavior and words should be as clean and unbiased as possible. This is not about emotions, this is about a man representing an ENTIRE country. We require so much from our police officers regarding their actions, and we should. We hold firefighters and teachers to strong standards, as we should. I see no reason why the leader of our country should be held to a less standard. In addition, I see his advisor, Ms. Conway's comments about purchasing the clothing also completely inappropriate and unethical. I would go so far as to say unprofessional, considering her profession is advising and representing the leader of the USA. I am requesting that these statements receive ethical review.

I am appalled at the behavior of President Trump and Kellyanne Conway regarding Nordstroms and the Ivanka Trump merchandise. This is a clear ethics violation and should not result in merely a slap on the wrist. There needs to be accountability and responsibility at the highest office in our nation. The use of the highest office in the country for personal profit causes irreparable repercussions to all Americans and it needs to be prosecuted to the full extent. Otherwise the office is a farce and how does this educate our future generations? There needs to be very definitive and clear statement upholding the laws of our country. Please do not take this lightly and prosecute both of them.

I can only imagine that as his Tweet went out across the world, and Nordstrom’s stock started to drop, the phone calls started ringing throughout the White House. Well, how do we get the heat off President Trump? We make KellyAnne Conway the scapegoat. Get her on the next morning show and she can go above and beyond promoting the clothing line. It will be so overdone, no one will remember that President Trump started this mess. This is not acceptable behavior for the President of the United States. He should have separated himself from all family business. This is corrupt. This is the exact thing we point to and say is wrong with other corrupt governments. The President and his family are using their position in government to sway public opinion on their family-owned companies. And it’s not just the President, lets not forget that Ivanka Trump’s husband, Jared Kushner, is sitting on Trump’s Leadership team. Any of the top advisors to the President, should not be connected to the Trump family businesses. All ties need to be broken. How are citizens supposed to trust this man when he gains money from outside governments to stay at his hotel or build a new Trump golfcourse in the UAE, or any number of ways he tries to sell his name as a brand. Someone needs to stand up and stop this man. He continues to break the law and hurt our countries reputation at the same time.

This includes any Trump Hotel, or Trump Tower. Pres. Tnunp is now using his twitter account to discuss his daughter's business line, and call out a store to in?uence. KellyAnne Conway, live on ox News today, is promoting we buy Ivanka Tnunp's products. The President is still bene?tting from income from his many hotels, plus making money from the US Government for having Secret Service at Trump Tower in NYC, to protect his wife and child. When his sons travel to do business for the family business, we pay for Secret Service protection for them, as they do personal business.

What I don't understand, however, is how her behavior is in any way different from the reckless, irresponsible, and self-serving behavior of this president -- a self-dealing character who has directed the American public to "buy LL Bean," to reject Nordstrom's, to let the "failing" New York Times die, etc. I mean, ON AND ON.  How is this different? And why does he not face consequences for using his office, our office, in this way? The conflicts inherent in his administration are wholly unprecedented, and I am fraught with concern. Rosneft?

It seems obvious to many that he has done things in the past few weeks so that his family's company's can profit. He holds events at his company owned properties and who pays for that? He singled out predominantly Muslim countries to ban from the US, but didn't ban the countries he has business interests in like Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers were from that committed the 9/11 attacks.  Then just this week he takes to his Twitter page to talk about his daughters Ivanka brand and how unfair Nordstrom is being. He then retweets this on the official Potus account.  If that weren't enough his spokesperson KellyAnne Conway went of Fox news for a White house interview and pushes Ivanka Trumps line and even says she's going to do a little commercial for it. This is NOT ok and definitely a conflict of interest. I didn't even mention his family ties to DAPL that he's trying to push through along with many other things. This must be stops.

Thank ou, From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE President Trump"s Nordstrom comments and Kellyanne Conway"s "commercial" for Ivanka Trump Friday, February 10, 2017 1:51:25 AM Hello, I am writing as a business owner to express my concern over members of the Executive branch (President Trump and Advisor Kellyanne Conway) using their official positions to influence private matters. Specifically, I believe it is not ethical for the sitting POTUS to denigrate and chastise Nordstrom for making a business decision (or really any decision) about their choice to carry or drop his daughters apparel lines. As a business owner, I am very concerned that these comments and actions can have a chilling effect on all businesses if they have to worry that the government will retaliate against them if they say or do something that some member of government does not like. Even the perception that there may be consequences for irritating the President could cause business and people to alter a decision or behavior. Further, I believe that Kellyanne Conway’s admitted “commercial” for Ivanka Trump’s brand during an interview where she is representing the administration, from the White House no less is clear ethical violation. I think that in both these cases, the individuals should be subject to recommendation for official rebuke and/or other sanction that is in keeping with the severity of their actions. Presidents have enormous power on the domestic and world stage and using the bully pulpit to actually bully for the personal gain of the President or his family is improper at the very least and, in my opinion, corrosive to our democracy and should rise to level of illegal act. Additionally, we, the American people do not know if the Presidents statements come from a desire to protect a business that he may have an ownership interest in as the extent of the Presidents holdings have been kept intentionally opaque. All of this is quite concerning and I urge this department to fully investigate this matter and apply whatever sanctions are appropriate.

The American people deserve answers and at the very least this behavior needs to stop. The citizens of this country must live by, and adhere to, laws, rules, and ethics. This administration is spitting in the face of the constitution all the laws of this land.

In my opinion, and that of many others, Kellyanne Conway violated statute 5 CFR 2635.702 endorsing the purchase of Ivanka Trump's clothing line on Fox News on 2/9/2017.

Thank you for your service to ethics, and to our country, (b) (6) From: To: Contact OGE Subject: Propaganda Minister Kelly Ann Conway endorsement of Trump Clothing Date: mursday, February 09, 2017 4:58:54 PM Minister Conway should be investigated for an unimaginable breach of ethics for endorsing President Trump?s family business line of clothing under his daughter?s trademark. Trump himself should be impeached for endorsing his family business and not divesting himself of his business empire. Clearly the whole Trump administration is a violation of every ethics violation government employees can possibly commit. Surely your office has the authority to step in an stop the flagrant disregard for ethics and decency. Trump is trying to overthrow the Legislative and Judicial Branches of government in an effort to become a dictator. There must be some mechanism or agency within the government that can stand up to this despot. Kelly Ann Conway should be hauled before Congress, fired and possibly jailed for her flagrant violation of ethics. From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE Prosecute KellyAnne Conway, remove her from public life Friday, February 10, 2017 2:08:45 PM President Trumps Advisor, KellyAnn Conway broke the law by verbally, on national television encouraged the  general pblic of the uS to buy President Trup’s daughters apparel. This is an illegal act. She and the president are NOT above the law. Please prosecute her to the full extent you can.  Remove her form public life. (b) (6) From: To: Contact OGE Subject: Prudent Action Needed Date: Friday, February 10, 2017 7:36:50 AM I am writing to ask for prudent action against Kellyanne Conway in the matter concerning her use of power in her position in the present administration, to ?uther the ?nancial gain of the President's daughter. This is clear abuse of power and should be investigated immediately. As I lmderstand, we are still a c01mt1y based on the rule of law.

Punishing her may make this gang of money-grubbers think twice before using the White House for continuing to line their pockets.  The White House is the people's house: We don't want an administration of "alternative facts," nor do we want further crass and unethical behavior. I believe that ethics should be modeled from the chief executive down, but since that's obviously not going to happen within this administration, we the people need to make it clear that we demand better behavior. Sincerely, (b) (6) P.S. I am an independent voter, and I have not been paid to write this message. (It's a shame I have to point that out in order to pre-empt future lies.) From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE Question from a concerned citizen Friday, February 10, 2017 2:58:17 AM I would like to know, what exactly is considered an ethics violation by the Executive Branch? I ask that question because it seems as though you could answer it by pointing out a few examples. It also seems as though you could easily point out which violations the Executive Branch have committed in the past two or three weeks. Does the POTUS get to keep his businesses and control so much that affect them? That could affect the rest of US (and International) businesses quite negatively. That would have a domino effect when it hits the remaining middle and working class citizens, destroying upward mobility for an entire socioeconomic class and all those beneath them. This might keep the benefits of capitalism away from the grasp of working class citizens who are capable of entrepreneurial success, but will never be allowed to reach it. Please tell me, what do you need, to be able to take what you know to the agencies that could actually help you prevent these catastrophic ethics violations? Also, how do you even enforce your charges onto members of the Executive Branch? How do you see that something was highly unethical, like the posting of Mr. Bannon to a position he has no authority or point of expertise to have even been considered for the spot? Am I correct in my understanding that reports of the President was not fully aware of the contents of the Executive Order he signed that authorized Mr. Bannon to take an incredible amount of power. He really seems to have an incredible amount of control over the President. I do sincerely hope that the President will soon regain his power and responsibility so that we don't have to impeach two presidents. The one that was elected, and the other who was not.

It seems that the Trump administration either has not been educated in Government Ethics, or they have blatant disregard for these policies and laws. I implore that your office take very seriously any infractions, and that a comprehensive review of business ties and dealings be initiated, as soon as feasibly possible. There are far too many improprieties and questionable associations, which erode faith and confidence in our entire government and nation.

Does Trump having something on all of you in your office? Is there no mechanism by which you can put some teeth into some demands? Senator Hatch claims we are trying to "roll all over" Trump "just because [he is] in a position of government." Trump is not just "in a position of government" he is the President. Not the King. Not the Dictator. The President. As such, he works for the people. It is in the nation's interests to know Trump's tax status because we need to know what countries he does business with, does business in, or both. Take Japan for instance -does Trump do business with that nation? We deserve to know whose interests Trump is really serving. This is particularly true because Trump has failed to distance himself sufficiently from not only his businesses but his wife's and his daughter's as well. The First Lady was advising visitors to the White House about her junk jewelry selling on -- of all places -QVC until an appalled White House visitor told the press. That is disgusting behavior. The Offices of First Lady and President are not for sale. Nor are they positions from which to leverage making money -- our poor excuse for a First Lady, who does not even reside in the White House -- sued a British journalist because she felt he ruined her "once in a lifetime opportunity" to make vast sums of money from being the First Lady and therefore one of the most photographed women in the world. The First Lady's behavior is both shocking and disgusting, as is Trump's. Trump's behavior is disgusting -- his refusal to prove no conflict of interest, his tweet rants, his threats against the Judges that would not allow his illegal travel ban (yes the threats came from Trump in one way or another) Trump's behavior is both terrifying and disgusting. We the people want (1) his tax returns and any other related contracts or other documents providing full disclosure of the countries he is invested in and (2) proof positive that he is not involved in any business and (3) an injunction against both Trump and the Fist Lady from doing any sort of private business while holding the titles of President and First Lady.

Trump administration advisor Kellyanne Conway’s recent statements endorsing Ivanka Trump’s clothing line represent not only an adolescent understanding and use of her role in the Trump administration, but also a blatant disregard for the laws that govern individuals holding such positions. As an American, I am deeply angered and disheartened that such statements were brazenly made in a public forum. In covering Donald Trump’s recent “immigration ban,” many immigrants have been interviewed about their experiences and reasons for wanting to come to this country. Among the many reasons is that they believe that America is a place where laws are respected and upheld; indeed, this is something that I too choose to believe, and a value that I hold close to my heart in my identification as an American. In order to maintain trust in the government, it is imperative that all citizens, even those in the highest offices, are held accountable for violations of the laws of this nation. I fear that a lack of action on Mrs. Conway’s remarks may breed antipathy towards the government and a generalized distrust in the entire system. As a young person, I already see this sentiment growing every day. I am proud of my country and hold on to the belief that there are good people in power, despite much evidence to the contrary in this day and age. I implore this office to take the claims against Kellyanne Conway very seriously, and respond in an appropriate manner. Please do your duty and do what is right.

The president has not fully divested of his business interests. He still owns companies who receive payment for services rendered, therefore he will still pro?t from foreign governments and dignitaries whether or not he is directly managing his own companies. This potentially violates the emoluments clause of the constitution and should be investigated. 2. He has used his Twitter account and his status as president to endorse his daughter's company. This certainly violates federal law 5 CFR 2635.702. 3. Kellyanne Conway, a government employee directly supervised by the president, has recently gone on national television and endorsed President Trump's daughter's company. This potentially violates federal law 5 CFR 2635.702 as well. I hope the public outcry will bolster your ability to investigate these claims. Many thanks for the important work that you do.

Specifically to your office, I believe that Mr. Trump's attempt to intimidate Nordstrom for discontinuing his daughter's clothing line violates the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Government Employees 5 C.F.R. Part 2365 (Executive Branch) Subparts D (Conflicting Financial Interests) and G (Misuse of Position). I also find his twitter attacks on the media to be not only childish, but indicative of a greater issue: an abuse of his station to feel vindicated to violate our freedoms as Americans.  This is a hugely slippery slope, as many historical events have taught us. I request immediate action on your part to safeguard the legitimate commercial interests of companies such as Nordstrom, to protect the sanctity of the republic and to discharge the duties for which your office is responsible.

"Use of Government Position and Resources An executive branch employee’s position, title, or authority may offer the opportunity to further the employee’s own private interests or the interests of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity. An employee may have access to nonpublic Government information that could benefit those interests, and will have access to Government property. The public may lose confidence in the integrity of Government if it perceives that an employee is using public office to serve a private interest, and it expects that Government information, property, and time (including the time of a subordinate) will be used to serve the public’s interests. Accordingly: An employee is required to act impartially. An employee may not make improper use of Government position, title, or authority.

I am deeply distressed that our government appears to have been hijacked by  people who not only care about nothing but making MORE money, but who are willing to steal Democratic ideals from us and install a version of FASCISM, corporate take over, that is being blatantly perpetrated by the new President and the cabinet picks he is installing, ALL with ties to oil, agribusiness, and other corporate interests that care only about enriching themselves at the cost of a biosphere already in cardiac arrest from human action. From Donald Trumps picks for DHHS, to EPA, To USDA, to Education, To Sec of State, the chosen ones have NO intention of doing what is imminent and already at emergency state, regarding methane and Co2 GHG that IS melting the Arctic Sea Ice at alarming rates and pose huge and unprecedented harm to all life on earth. Donald Trump,according to this article, is motivated by anger, perhaps a sickening childhood scenario that caused him trauma. No place to heal his old wounds in our most important position of making war or peace. PLEASE do not let the American people down who have the wisdom and presence of mind to be disgusted and outraged at this man's  undermining of the Constitution, placing environmental poisoner's at the helm of critical government agencies, and using the power he has for EVIL, over good. He already gagged the EPA, told USDA to take down important information about animal welfare and abusers, and he IS MAKING US LESS SAFE as others around the planet gear up to resist his dictatorship and detrimental reach!!!

I see laws being broken every day, yet no one puts a stop to it. Trump is the most unethical president in the history of America. I'm tired of watching my government, that is supposed to be looking out for me, and all the rest of the citizens it works for, doing whatever it likes to further their own wealth and the wealth of their family and friends. This not the country I grew up in. We have been taken over by a group people that believe they are above the law and that ethics don't apply to them. The most recent blatant case, is Trump and Conway speaking from the oval office about Nordstrom. That is in direct violation of the Federal Register part 2635. 5CRF part 2635.702 An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a non-government capacity, including non-profit organizations of which the employee is an officer or member and persons the employee has or seeks employment or business relations. Trump and Conway have both violated this ethics standard and need to be punished, as any other employee would be. I find the use of the Oval Office to push Ivanka's clothing line is disgraceful. It's embarrassing for the country.  There are also various rumors that Trump has not fully divested from his companies, including the DAPL. It's sickening to watch the Office of President of the United States become a joke, nothing more than advertising to line the pockets of those not doing their job correctly. As a United States citizen, one of the people the government is responsible for, I beg you to do the right thing. Impeach Trump. He is not fit to be the President. He does not understand how the government works and he had no respect for the Office or the rules.  America works because of the guidelines in place by our founding fathers. Disregard for these carefully thought out protections will lead us away from being the democracy we claim we are. Please, stand up fot your country and do what's right. We deserve better than what we're getting. Impeach Trump.

He uses his power as president to come out and openly criticize,  and intimidate a business into selling her products.

I was under the impression that Ivanka Trump was giving up any control of her business while she and her husband assisted the President in his duties, but that appears not to be so clear cut. The President has made statements about decisions that retailers carrying her clothing, accessory and jewelry lines have made that were quite disparaging, and his aide, Kellyanne Conway, has even requested that consumers buy the items on a national news interview. While I understand that President Trump is a father, and protective of his daughter, he is using his position to try to in?uence the pro?ts of a family business, as is his staff. This is not, in my opinion, ethical behavior. The Of?ce of the President of the United States should not even appear to favor any one business, just as it should not disparage any for personal reasons. I remember my grandmother telling me that Cesar?s wife must be above reproach. How much further above reproach should we expect our Commander in Chief to be?

I know there are rules against promoting private lines, but Trumps public and obvious interest in his daughter's line is proof that he has a conflict of interest. He proves that he is concerned more about his brand and his families brand than dealings with Russia or any other political items. I would like Trump to have to sell all his business to firmly separate himself from his political decisions. His use of power to demean, scorn, or alter the free market are a disgrace to this nation and clearly illegal. Act immediately and with a strong hand. From trumps own behavior, it is obvious that he cannot separate himself and needs to be removed from role as President. He has too much power over the economy and trade deals.

His attack on should have serious consequences. Further, Kellyanne Conway should absolutely lose her job for openly plugging Ivanka Tnunp?s brand. Kellyanne appears to not only have the support of Trump (of course-since he and his family bene?t) but she has not issued any form of apology or admission that this act was wrong. This president seems to feel that the rules don?t apply to him, his family and his team. He needs a very strong message that this is not going to be tolerated for the next foru? years.

Trump's unethical failure to divest means that he's making money from governmental events and - like the Secret Service renting space in Trump Tower 01? the Red Cross using Mar-a-Lago for its annual ball. These con?icts of interest make it impossible to determine whether the president has been in?uenced by what amormt to bribes. Trump's own ethical violations are only compormded by the actions of his family members and advisor Kellyanne Conway. The President of the United States used his title and in?uence to promote his daughter's business and Kellyanne Conway supported him to the extent that she even characterized her own words as a "commercial" for Ivanka Trump's clothing line. This is utterly unacceptable behavior from any public of?cial, let alone the President of the United States and his advisor. I would ask that the OGE encom?age Trump and his family to fully divest, divulge his tax retums for the sake of transparency, and to recommend an appropriate prmishment which is merited by the severity of onway's ethical breach.

Donald Trump Jr. telling people to cut up Nordstrom cards and stop doing business with company. Kelly Anne Conway “from the White House” telling the morning shows that people should buy Ivanka’s product. Nordstrom is a 100 year old success story, which shouldn’t be penalized when making business decisions.  There is a moral ethical issue here, even if not a legal one.  Where do we see the Trump family actually divesting and stop using their new political power from benefitting the Trump group of companies??

When are we going to hear about an investigation into his business dealings and how it affects the American people. There are so many obvious conflicts of interest I can’t even list them all but here are a few: · The Trump Organization is an umbrella company for Donald Trump's hundreds of investments in real estate, brands and other businesses. · 40 Wall Street · Dakota Access Pipeline · Deutsche Bank · The FCC · General Service Administration · National Labor Relations Board · Trump's airplane company, TAG Air, billed the Secret Service for flying on Trump's Boeing 757 while protecting the candidate · Since his election, Mr Trump has singled out specific companies for criticism on Twitter, causing price swings on the stock market. If Mr Trump still owns these stocks, he could make money off of selling and buying before and after such tweets · According to Trump's financial disclosure, he has investments in or owns companies in at least 20 countries. Unlike his domestic business, Mr Trump could run afoul of a clause in the US constitution by continuing to profit from these deals. · An Argentine broadcaster reported that Mr Trump allegedly asked President Mauricio Macri for his support to build an office tower in Buenos Aires while on call during Mr Trump's transition period. Mr Macri's office and the Trump campaign have denied the report. However, several days later, the Buenos Aires firm building the tower announced construction of the project was going ahead after years of delays. A waterfront property in Rio de Janeiro, branded with the Trump name through a licensing deal, is the subject of a federal inquiry after two small Brazilian pension funds invested heavily in the unfinished project, with allegations of bribery. · The Trump Organization has licensing deals with two hotel towers in Canada - one in Toronto and one in Vancouver. · The Bank of China is one of China's largest banks and also majority state-owned. It holds the title on a $950m loan for a New York Building in which Trump is a part owner. Mr Trump has previously labelled China a currency manipulator. Another largely government-owned Chinese bank - the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China - has space in Trump Tower, paying rent to the Trump Organization. The Trump Organization has also previously attempted to open a series of hotels in the country, and Trump Hotels chief executive Eric Danziger told a Hong Kong media outlet in October they wanted to open 20 to 30 hotels in the country in 2017. Meanwhile, Trump's son-in-law and now senior adviser, Jared Kushner, is negotiating a deal with China's Anbang Insurance Group to redevelop 666 Fifth Avenue in New York City. Mr Kushner has been given a senior role inside the White House, and his lawyer told the New York Times he "would recuse from particular matters that would have a direct and predictable effect on his remaining financial interests" without giving specifics. · Trump has a licensing deal for buildings in Mumbai and Pune. One of his deals is with the Lodha Group, whose founder, Mangal Lodha, is also a vicepresident in the ruling government party, BJP.

Or to allow Trump associates like Kelly Anne Conway to tell Americans to buy Ivanka Trumps products. They are making a farce of our government and damaging our image irreparably around the world.

I will leave it to the lawyers to recite line and verse the various ways that these pitches for commercial products are inappropriate coming from an elected of?cial and paid staff. The situation is further exacerbated by the fact that "commercials" are for a direct family member of the President.

As a Trustee of my local board I would sanctioned by the board I sit on and warned by oru? counsel if I made a commercial appeal or "ad" for any product, especially if that appeal might bene?t the business of a close family member.

Terrible!” ; then retweeting it on his POTUS account fall under an ethical act.  This seems to be using the presidential platform to benefit his family's businesses.  Then we have KellyAnn Conway blatantly telling people to buy Ivanka trumps line??  Please explain to me if I am not understanding your role as I took this from your website: "§ 2635.702 Use of public office for private gain.

This appears to be a clear violation of law prohibiting federal employees from using public office for private gain (§ 2635.702). On February 9th Kellyanne Conway, Counselor to President Donald Trump, during an appearance on Fox & Friends, told viewers to buy Ivanka Trump's products. You can find a the full video of the segment here: http://bit.ly/2ltT9hr. Quote from Kellyanne Conway on 2/9/2017 "Go buy Ivanka's stuff, is what I was [saying] — I hate shopping and I'm going to go get some myself today."  "This is just [a] wonderful line," she added. "I'm going to give a free commercial here. Go buy it today, everybody. You can find it online." I urge your office to investigate this matter and discipline this employee, if needed.  Your office is charged with enforcing ethics violations and maintaining the integrity of the Executive Branch and the U.S. Government.  Quoting from your website: Financial Conflicts of Interest The public may lose confidence in the integrity of Government if it perceives that an employee's Government work is influenced by personal interests or by payments from an outside source. An executive branch employee's Government work may have the potential to benefit the employee personally, affect the financial interests of the employee's family, or involve individuals or organizations with which the employee has some past, present, or future connection away from the employee's Government job. Further, this matter raises serious questions about whether the president, his family, and his administration are profiting from their positions and promoting their own businesses.  The extensive, complex, opaque, domestic and international business ties from which the president himself has not fully divested have already undermined public confidence and trust. Though there may be legal exemptions for the president, all of his staff must fully comply with disclosure and conflict of interest provisions.  I strongly urge your office to work with related ethics and conduct-related agencies to fully investigate members of this administration and ensure compliance with ethics laws.  From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE Violation of ethics rule by Kellyanne Conway Friday, February 10, 2017 7:29:23 AM To Whom it may Concern, I'm witting to your office today as a concerned citizen concerning the actions of Mrs. Conway.

This administration has obviously been using their business ties and presidency to further financial gain. By Trump calling out Nordstrom, and Kellyann stating to "go buy Ivanka's clothes", they are both in clear violation of the ruling above.

The consistent behavior of Kellyanne Conway is a violation of the sacred trust we have in our officials. She and others in the Trump administration seem to have no sense at all of how they are violating our long-held practices that protect us from corruption. Thank you for helping us stand up for democratic values and ensure that we have a democracy after all the egregious behaviors by Trump and the people he surrounds himself with. (b) (6) From: To: Contact Subject: We must ?ght to protect ethics Date: Friday, February 10, 2017 4:18:27 PM Dear Sir/Madame, We would like to request an investigation and action into the conduct of KelleyAnne Conway and her shameful promotion and "free commercial" of Ivanka Trump's product line. These remarks, if not illegal, are highly imethical for a spokesperson representing the White House of the United States. Thank you for yom? time and consideration. From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE we need ethics investigation of Mr. Trump Thursday, February 09, 2017 1:26:36 PM Dear Mr. Shaub, Please instigate an investigation into the current President. He is in violation of the Emoluments Clause and is profiting at the expense of the public. Specific reasons: 1. While he has handed day-to-day control of his business to his sons, he retains ownership. Even now he is illegally pushing through the Dakota Access Pipeline (in which he is invested); 2. He has expressed intent to repeal Dodd-Frank because, as he said to the press, "my business friends can't get loans"; 3. He is taking money from the taxpayers to pay rent in Trump Tower for FBI and secret service officers; 4. using taxpayer money to cover a personal (not gov't) business trip for his son to the tune of $97,000; and 5. most recently using the power of his office - tweeting from the presidents account -  to criticize an American company (Nordstrom) about their business decision to discontinue his daughter's clothing line AND his representative, KellyAnne Conway going on television and telling people to buy I. Trump's merchandise. This is unethical and besmirches the office of the presidency. Thank you, (b) (6) From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE We the People need an Ethics Review: Trump & Kelly Ann Conway Friday, February 10, 2017 6:59:26 AM I am requesting an ethical review of the 2 above named persons concerning remarks made about Ivanka Trumps clothing line/Nordstrom/"sales pitch" to buy this clothing line. It is not proper for the President of the US to discuss his daughter's business to the American public. If this is not nipped in the bud now we will see further problems.

Friday, February 10, 2017 12:01:38 AM Hi I am contacting you regarding some ethics concerns I have regarding the current administration.  I won't list all of my concerns at this time, but a few that have come to light in the last few days. 1. Trump VS. Nordstrom (or any business, news outlet) - when Trump disparages or lashes out at any business that he is angry with for personal reasons, it is a conflict of interest.  He causes all kinds of problems for them.  It is the equivalent of promoting a business, giving them free advertising to unfairly help them, only when he expresses anger and uses these bully tactics, it is the same as using his power to unfairly take them down.   2. Trump VS People. Recently we heard Trump tell a group of people that if they gave the name of someone who did not agree with him/them he would ruin their career.  What?  This was on video.  He said this out loud. Where everyone heard him.  This particular instance is not the first time he has eluded to this behavior, but this was the most blatant. Has his selfimportance gone to his head? 3. KellyAnn Conway and Ivanka Trump Brand.  Everyone knows that you cannot advertise like she did on the TV this morning. HUGE conflict of interest.  I'm not certain that someone (DT) didn't encourage her to do it and then throw her under the bus when it back fired.  This may deserve some investigation, nonetheless, it cannot happen again. 4. What Else?  I could go on about transparency, taxes, unknown relation to Russia. Please do a good job and investigate this.  Do not bow to pressure, our countries future is at stake. Thank you From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE What"s wrong with the US government? Friday, February 10, 2017 2:35:00 PM What the fuck is wrong with you trump mother fuckers?

From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE When are you going to start doing your job? Friday, February 10, 2017 2:09:43 AM The first few weeks of this administration are fraught with examples of unethical use of government authority. The President is using his twitter account to bully companies (e.g. Nordstrom) into changing their business decisions to increase the profits of his family business ventures.  And his employees (e.g. Kellyanne Conway) are publicly asking people to buy the president’s family business products. How can that not be unethical behavior? When are you going to start doing your job?  If you don’t plan to do it, please resign and turn over your position to someone who will do the job. Sincerely, (b) (6) (b)(6) From: To: Contact OGE Subject: Where are the investigations? So much unethical behavior everyday by numerous people in the executive branch Date: Friday, February 10, 2017 1:56:28 AM I am extremely concerned about the unethical behavior and actions of many in the executive branch of late. Where are you in investigating the following: 1. Kellyanne Conway for explicitly promoting a Tnunp family business= major ethical con?ict 2. Releasing Trump?s tax returns and business con?icts. He is explicitly promoting his brand over and over again over social media and in conversations with the press. global dignitaries. Congress. and more. He is the president our conmiander in chief and represent the American people. It is no longer his job to represent his companies nor his brand. Stop him 3. behavior before and after the inauguration is most likely illegal and most de?nitely unethical as it relates to his conversations with Russia and discussions around sanctions. 4. Are you investigating the Russian interference in the Presidential election of Nov 2016? Please let me know what you are doing to investigate. . .. I am an American citizen who is very very concerned that you are not investigating the numerous issues that have been revealed over the past few weeks since Trump and his administration have taken the reins.

Flynn discussing Russian sanctions as a private citizen That's just a start.  Words cannot describe the level of dismay and lack of trust I feel in the current state of our federal government.  From: To: Contact OGE Subject: White House Date: Thursday, February 2017 11:33:16 PM Kellyanne Conway?s public remarks encom?aging people to buy Ivanka Tnunp?s products were completely unethical and unacceptable.

My understanding is that these activities abuse the power of their positions. I, as many Americans, would be interested in the position of your office- as I assume your ultimate responsibility is to protect us, the American public. Thank you, (b) (6) Sent from my iPhone From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE White House Administration Ethics Violations Thursday, February 09, 2017 1:45:28 PM To Who It May Concern, As you know yesterday, the President of the United States was tweeting about Nordstrom’s dropping his daughter’s clothing line, which is a violation of ethics for the highest office.  Today on Fox news, Kellyanne Conway was promoting Ivanka Trumps line and saying on the show how great her clothes are and everyone should go out and shop.  Again, as a Federal employee is that not a violation of ethics.  With all the regulations and checks and balances plus the Constitution how is this President and his family getting away with profiting from his responsibilities to the American people. When does the Federal Government step in and reveal the Russian Hacks, his taxes, conflict of interests and the promotion of the family name.  Less than a month into this Presidency and he is not draining the swamp just adding to it and destroying America along the way. Please step and investigate. (b) (6) From: To: Contact OGE Subject: White House con?icts of interest Date: Ihursday, February 09, 2017 11:33:38 PM Dear OGE: 1. I'm am deeply concerned about the President's con?icts of interest. including with his hotel (Old Post Of?ce). but also his steadfast and callous refusal to divest his business interests. 2. I am deeply troubled by the in?ltration of mu political process by the Russian government, including the president's ambivalence and indeed encoru'agement of covert Russian actions, and of potential ties he may have to Russian of?cials and/ or power brokers. I recommend a thorough investigation of his tax returns. 3. It is also deeply concerning that the President - recklessly or deliberately - issues tweets and pointed statements that cause the fortunes of companies and shareholders to rise and fall based on his tone, his displeasure or? his threats (both obvious and implied). 4. I am concerned that the president's staff is emulating his behaviors, including openly promoting Trrunp fanrily products and/ or businesses, and defending such behaviors originating from the president himself. I strongly lu'ge you to open multiple investigations into the many clearly rurethical and distru?bing behaviors of the president. and to pru?sue this distasteful work not only with all the powers at yoru? disposal, but with the certain knowledge that the good people of the United States will be forever grateful that you stood up to a wanna-be tyrant. 1 (D U) From: To: Subject: Date: (b) (6) Contact OGE White House efforts at marketing Trump family products: please investigate Friday, February 10, 2017 3:39:02 PM I am surprised to read the President's and Kellyanne Conway's comments about Ivanka Trump's private business enterprise.  Surely, this must break an ethics rule or law, if the facts as reported are true.

Why are we spending so much of the taxpayers money on providing security to his wife and son who don't want to move to Washington?

What I would like to know to how the President of the United States can make negative statements in his position against a company for not carrying his daughter's line of products? How an "advisor" (KellyAnne Conway) can blatantly endorse her bosses products?  Telling the American people to go buy her products?  The White House Press Secretary tells us "she has been counseled" ... but to me, this is not good enough. If these individuals can break these ethics rules and laws so flagrantly, what does this say to the rest of us?  I, personally, own a business (dog grooming) in addition to my federal employment.  It is where I plan to work when I retire from federal service.  My federal employment and my business are completely separate.  But, if the President and his advisor can do this ..... would this mean now that when I am speaking publically that I can encourage people to bring their dogs to my business?  Promote my business in my professional capacity?  OF COURSE NOT.   I have never done this and never would.  That would be using my federal position to promote an unrelated business for personal gain which is against the law.  I realize this, but allowing this type of flagrant abuse from those at the top sets a very dangerous precedent. § 2635.702 Use of public office for private gain. An employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonprofit organizations of which the employee is an officer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations. If this law is not enforced, then what does this say to federal employees, to the American people?  If our laws aren't applied to ALL of us, then this country falls into chaos.  Laws apply to all of us.  All of us.

Clearly, her urging was encouraged by the President and the Of?ce of Government Ethics must immediately launch an investigation into his con?icts of interest and willingness to use public of?ce for private gain. 2635.702 Use of public of?ce for private gain. "An employee shall not use his public of?ce for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is af?liated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonpro?t organizations of which the employee is an of?cer or member. and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations." Walter Shaub. Director Of?ce of Government Fillics 1201 New York Avenue. NW Suite 500 Washington, DC. 20005 Dear Director Shaub: Thank you for the work you and your staff are doing to monitor the ethics ofour government of?cials. I am writing as a concerned citizen and taxpayer to request the Of?ce of Government Ethics (0GB) proceed with two investigations and appropriate enforcement actions. The ?rst concerns Donald J. Trump?s use ofthe United States government?s of?cial presidential twitter account, He used this account to retweet from the personal account of @therealdonaldtrump. These identical messages were in support ofhis daughter?s product line and against a US. based. publicly traded company. which, for business reasons has dropped lvanka Trump?s products. The second request concerns whether Kellyanne Conway. Counselor to the President. violated C.F.R. 2635.702, "Use of public of?ce for private gain.? On February 9, 2017, White House Counselor Conway appeared. in her of?cial role from the White House brie?ng room, on Fox News and endorsed the product line of lvanka Trump. She encouraged viewers to buy Trump?s products. Speci?cally. Conway said on live television: ?This isjust wonderful line,? she told Fox Friends. own some ofit. fully?~l?m going to give a free commercial here. Go buy it today. everybody. You can ?nd it online." Such a product endorsement and sales pitch by an employee of the federal government runs afoul of5 C.F.R. 2635.702, which expressly prohibit employees from making such product endorsements. 2635.702 Use of public of?ce for private gain. An employee shall not use his public of?ce for his own private gain..for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends. relatives. or persons with whom the employee is af?liated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonpro?t organizations of which the employee is an of?cer or member. and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations. The speci?c prohibitions set forth in paragraphs through of this section apply this general standard. but are not intended to be exclusive or to limit the application ofthis section. Walter M. Shaub. Jr. Director US. Of?ce of Government Ethics 1201 New York Avenue, N.W., Suite 500 Washington, DC 20005 Februarle, 2017 Dear Mr. Shaub: Like many patriotic Americans, I am ?nding the ?rst weeks of Donald Trump?s presidency alarming. His disregard for the truth, his attacks on the press, his executive order closing doors to refugees, and his shocking disrespect to the intelligence community are an embarrassment?and a danger?to our country. But the biggest danger of all, at least for the moment, is President Trump?s refusal to release his tax records, and the countless con?icts of interest that undoubtedly lay behind them. How can we trust a man to keep America safe, when he may well be doing business with our enemies? As the Director of the US. Of?ce of Government Ethics you have a duty to force Trump to release his tax records and divest any holdings that may endanger American lives. I was pleased to see your of?ce stepping up to censure Kellyanne Conway for her remarks about lvanka Trump?s clothing line. 1 hope you will take similar steps with the President himself. The stakes are far higher. Please stand up for what is right. JQO .bQ?dhOanu?jOb 8Q 76 03C. Q). md/T/X? XVOG 50 Av?nwanL \u 030C L40 xx. .

February 10, 2017 U.S. Office of Government Ethics 1201 New York Avenue, NW. Suite 500 Washington, DC 20005 To Whom It Ma},r Concern: Please investigate President Donald Trump. He did not put his holdings into a blind trust. Instead his children determine which business plans bene?t their father. He is still personally pro?ting from Palm Beach Club Mar-a?Lago. The club has doubled its initiation fee, while Sean Spicer, his press secretary, has labeled it ?the Winter White House.? The CEO of the Trump hotels? business is pondering a threefold expansion. Foreign dignitaries are ?ocking to his Washington hotel (which is being sued for multi-millions of dollars). President Trump urged British of?cials to scuttle a wind farm that would obstruct the view from his golf course. Lawyers for the First Lady claimed in a libel suit that a Daily Mail article about. her cost her the chance ?to launch a broad~based commercial brand in multiple product categories, each of which could have garnered multimillion dollar business relationships.? Launching new clothing and accessory lines is not part of the job description of the First Lady. And finally his top advisor, his press secretary, and whoever manages the Presidential Twitter account have crossed the line to endorse the President?s daughter?s clothing and accessorj,r line at All of this is completely unacceptable.

Thank you. cc: Mr. Donald McGahn February 8, 2017 Congressman Jason Chaffetz Congressman Elijah Cummings I am writing to ask that your committee take seriously the wholly inappropriate comments made by President Trump criticizing for its business decision in regard to his daughter?s company. These comments are a complete misuse of the power of the presidency to try to influence a publicly traded company in a decision that affects the finances of his family. You should be as outraged as I am at this further example of President Trump's total disregard for ethical standards for a public official. This behavior is consistent with the President?s laughably weak action to appear to remove himself from the management of his real estate business. It should alarm you about his continuing willingness to suggest that decisions by the United States of America will be influenced by consideration of their effect on Mr. Trump?s business and family interests. Since Mr. Chaffetz expressed serious concerns about Mr. Trump?s suitability for the presidency, I hope this action will revive the doubts he appropriately held and prompt him to demonstrate that he understands the damage Mr. Trump?s behavior will have on the health and safety of America. Thank you very much. Sincerely, United States Office of Government Ethics US. Of?ce of Government Ethics 1201 New York Avenue, N.W., Suite 500 Washington, DC 20005 I am writing to urge you to open an investigation on Kellyanne Conway for violating federal ethics laws, speci?cally the prohibition of 'executive branch employees from endorsing or promoting organizations, products or people'. During a Fox News interview, Ms. Conway stated, "Go buy Ivanka?s stuffis what I would tell you. I hate shopping, but I?m going to get some for mysell?today," Conway said from the White House brie?ng room, with the White House seal behind her. "It?s a wonderful line, I own some of it. I?m just going to give a free commercial here: go buy it today, everybody. You can ?nd it online." This is clearly a violation of federal ethics laws. This cannot be permitted, and again, I urge you to Open an investigation immediately. Thank you. Sincerely February 9, 2017 Director The United States Office of Government Ethics 1201 New York Ave. NW, Suite 500 Washington DC 20005 As a retired federal employee I am particularly concerned that all Executive branch employees follow the rules that I carefully adhered to. Employees are prohibited from using public office for their own private gain or that of their friends and relatives. There is appearance of, and likely real, conflict of interest where the President and his family members are closely linked to their personal businesses. Those businesses continually have dealings and contracts with foreign governments and foreign citizens, which are seeking advancement of their own agendas. I ask you to work on eliminating this misconduct for the good of our nation. Sincerely, February 8, 2017 US Of?ce of Government Ethics 1201 New York Avenue, NW. Washington, DC 20005 Re: President Trump and Twitter Dear Sir/Madam: I am a concerned US citizen writing about President Trump?s improper use of Twitter; speci?cally his penchant for publicly attacking/criticizing private companies due to perceived slights to himself or his family. I have attached a copy of the most recent Tweet (at the time of writing this letter, which will probably be old news by the time it is received), in which he criticized for discontinuing his daughter?s clothing line from their stores. This behavior is inappropriate for any publicly elected of?cial, and especially so for the sitting United States President. Please take any and all actions necessary to stop the President from attempting to in?uence the American free market with his careless tweets. in addition, it seems clear that the President may have substantial ties to Russian businesses. There is a possibility that these business interests not only may result in improper behavior by the executive branch, but may also serve to weaken America?s national security. Please take any and all actions necessary and available to your of?ce to require the disclosure of President Trump?s tax returns relating to any foreign business interests. Thank you for your attention to this matter. .t Donald J. Trump 9 @realDonaldTrump My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by She is a great person always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible! 2/8/17, 9:51 AM February 9, 2017 US. Department of Government Ethics 1201 New York Avenue NW, Ste 500 Washington, DC 20005 Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to request an immediate review of Ms. Kellyann Conway?s endorsement of Ivanka Trump clothing on Fox News on February 9, 2017. Ms. Conway openly stated that she was "giving away a free commercial? in the moment on the broadcast. I believe that this violates Statute 5 CFR 2635.702 and as such requires immediate attention from your office. The over reach from the current administration is spilling into the day to day appearances, attitudes and actions of the elected and appointed individuals in the Trump Administration all of which will have far reaching effects on the American people. For a public official to endorse a product on a broadcast that would provide financial gain to a member of the first family is reprehensible. I am a voter, a tax payer and American and I will continue to monitor the actions of Mr. Trump AND his associates and will call into question each and every act that violates statues set forth prior to his assuming the Presidency. I thank you for your time and hope that you will continue to be a watch dog for the people of our great nation. Sincerely, United States Of?ce of Government Ethics 1201 New York Ave NW Ste 500 Washington, DC 20005 January 10, 2017 Dear Sir or Madam: Donald Trump and his Kellyanne Conway are supporting Ivanka Trump?s brand while working for the American people. Kellyanne Conway appeared on ?Fox Friends? Thursday February 9, 2017 and said ?I?m gonna just going to give a free commercial here, and ?Go buy it today, everybody. You can ?nd it online.? Her comments come a day after President Donald Trump complained on Twitter that retailer (J WN) had treated his daughter ?so unfairly? by dropping her brand of clothing and shoes. See below: Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump My daughter lvanka has been treated so unfairly by She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible! 10:51 AM - 8 Feb 2017 {a 13 26,661 . 136,307 The comments by Kellyanne and the tweet by Donald Trump are in violation of CFR 2635.702 Use of public of?ce for private gain. The section states ?An employee shall not use his public of?ce for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private 1 Page gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is af?liated in a nongovernmental capacity, including nonpro?t organizations of which the employee is an of?cer or member, and persons with whom the employee has or seeks employment or business relations. The speci?c prohibitions set forth in paragraphs through of this section apply this general standard, but are not intended to be exclusive or to limit the application of this section.? Please censure both Donald Trump and Kellyanne Conway and if they repeat this type of activity in the future, please begin criminal charges against them. I refer you also to Melania Trump?s recent lawsuit against Mail Media Inc. The lawsuit asserts that a story the Daily Mail published where it was alleged she had worked as an escort damaged her chances of pro?ting from her high profile position. Mrs. Trump's ?ling claims she "had the unique, once?in?a-lifetime opportunity, as an extremely famous and well-known person, as well as a former professional model, brand spokesperson and successful businesswoman, to launch a broad- based commercial brand in multiple product categories, each of which could have garnered multi?million dollar business relationships for a multi-year term during which Plaintiff is one of the most photographed women in the world.? It is clear to me that the President, his family and his advisors are intent on monetizing the presidency and this is illegal. I urge you to take action to stop this from going any further. Thank you, ZIl-?agae February 9, 2017 PO. Box 1061 Nags Head, NC 27959 U.S. Office of Government Ethics 1201 New York Avenue NW, Ste. 500 Washington, DC 20005 Dear Sir: Your office is bound to investigate, formally charge, and institute the appropriate penalties for the actions of Kellyanne Conway and President Trump. I am a citizen who loves America and I am writing to make this demand. Kellyanne Conway appeared on Fox News where she expressly endorsed the purchase of lvanka Trump's apparel line. Similarly, President Trump has made several unfavorable public statements about retailers dropping the lvanka Trump brand, including a tweet yesterday (February 8, 2017) that his daughter lvanka was treated "unfairly" by Setting aside the fact that these statements are immature at best, and distract from important policy issues facing our nation, they are also violations of statute 5 CFR 2635.702 which states, among other things, that: A government employee shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity. An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office in a manner that is intended to coerce or induce another person, including a subordinate, to provide any benefit, financial or otherwise, to himself or to friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a nongovernmental capacity. There is no basis for allowing these statements to stand unchallenged as they are a direct and clear violation of this statute. Sincerely, 2/9i17 US Of?ce of Government Ethics 1201 New York Ave. NW, Ste 500 Washington, DC 2995' Dear Representative, Kellyanne Conway publicly endorsed Trump on Fox News Today. It is a violation of statute 5 CFR 2635.?02. She must be formally charged. This administration has companies running scared. I?m not sure how this law doesn?t apply to him, but this is not protecting the American people. Trump has conflicts of interest and you are NOT protecting us. I know this is more difficult because you are scared of the President and his retribution. It is clear, however, that Ms. Conway should not be holding this position. She has purposely lied more than 3 different times. This is not acceptable. Charges need to be brought on Kellyanne Conway. If ordinary citizens must obey the law, so most people representing our government. if my students are punished for breaking rules at school, there are consequences. 2/10/12 To Whom it May Concern: I tried to contact you via the website, but it was down. Please investigate Kellyanne Conway for using her of?ce to promote the products of the President?s daughter, lvanka Trump. Please investigate Donald Trump for being in violation of the emoluments clause of the United States Constitution. Please investigate Vice President Pence for potentially lying about Michael December phone conversation with Vladimir Putin. Please investigate Michael phone conversations with Putin. Democracy cannot function well unless we hold Democrats, Republicans and all of our government of?cials to the highest ethical standards. Sincerely, US. Of?ce ofGovernment Ethics 1201 New York Avenue NW Suite 500 Washington, DC 20005 February 9. 2017 To Whom It May Concern: As a citizen, a registered voter, and a TAXPAYER. I am writing to demand an investigation of the business and financial ties of President Donald 'l?rump, particularly as they pertain to foreign interests and powers. 1 am baf?ed as to how this man is not held accountable for the many con?icts of interests that he demonstrates. My understanding of the emoluments clause (Article 1, Section 9, Clause of the United States Constitution reinforces my beliefthat President 'l?rump is in clear violation of his oath to uphold the Constitution. Your failure to thoroughly investigate this man is both morally and ethically wrong and a clear dereliction of your duties. Also, and more recently, 'l?rump?s senior advisor. Kellyanne Conway, openly and aggressively endorsed products of the president?s daughter on national television. This is obviously a clear violation ofethics and deserves far more serious consequences than the ?counseling? she allegedly received. I implore you to do your duty and investigate. prosecute, and convict these individuals. Thank you for your time and attention. February 9. 201 7 US. Of?ce ol?Govemment Ethics 1201 New York Avenue. N.W.. Suite 500 Washington. DC 20005 To Whom it may concern: The President's spokesperson. Kellyannc Conway was on national television. FOX News. telling people to go buy lvanka Trump's clothing. Please don't let Trump and his gang use the White llouse for marketing. This is totally unethical and repugnant. The White House is paid for by the people. the citizens ot?the The highest of?ce is not a platform for peddling goods and becoming a business that serves the financial interests ofthe Trump extended familyll Conway should be immediately relieved other duties. We should not be subjected to this abuse of power any more. 'l?ha February 10, 2017 US Office of Government Ethics 1201 New York Ave, NW, Suite 500 Washington, DC 20005 Attn: Shelley Finlayson Are Reps Chaffetz and Cummings for With all the problems and there are many such as homeless Vets, drug abuse, law enforcement killings, homegrown and abroad terriorism in the US, they are worried about Kellyanne Conway promoting/endorsing Ivanka Trump?s fashion line. See below. In a letter to the Office of Government Ethics, Reps. Jason Chaffetz and Elijah Cummings wrote that they had "extremely serious concerns" that Kellyanne Conway violated federal ethics rules when she appeared on Fox News on Thursday and explicitly endorsed Ivanka Trump '3 fashion line, which was dropped by after the retailer claimed the sales were slow.
