That was BEFORE she became an official employee.I can do you one better. I have Ivanka saying she's an employee.She’s an employee. It doesn’t matter if she’s paid or not. She signed up as an employee. You can be an unpaid employee, kiddo. That doesn’t exempt one from ethics laws.Her pay is irrelevant. She is a government employee.She’s a government employee which is exactly who the law covers.Ms. Trump’s Goya tweet is clearly a violation of the government’s misuse of position regulation, 5 C.F.R. § 2635.702. Ms. Trump has had ethics training. She knows better. But she did it anyway because no one in this administration cares about government ethics,” Shaub says.
Experts: Ivanka Trump’s endorsement of Goya Foods puts her in serious legal trouble
“Clearly a Violation” Government ethics experts across the nation are denouncing Ivanka Trump’s late-night endorsement of Goya Foods as a violation of law – and ethics – especially as it comes just days after the company’s CEO appeared on national television in the Rose Garden of the White House...www.rawstory.com
What elected position does she have?
Oh, right. None.
Goodbye.
Wrong, she is her dads advisor. She gets no pay.
Not clicking with what an "employee" is, are you? She also wasn't paid for promoting Goya.
OK, so Obama was paid. And he promoted the Chevy Volt. What should have happened to him in your view?
The president is specifically exempted from the law in question.
Of course you have a link that says volunteers are considered employees, RIGHT?

"I will instead serve as an unpaid employee in the White House Office, subject to all of the same rules as other federal employees."
Ivanka Trump To Be An Official White House Employee Covered By Ethics Rules
She already has an office in the West Wing. "I have been working closely ... with the White House Counsel and my personal counsel to address the unprecedented nature of my role," she said.www.npr.org
From your link:
But she did not have to abide by ethics rules, which concerned many ethics experts who said it would allow her to skirt some rules and disclosures.
She also said she would voluntarily abide by ethics standards, that tells me she's not bound by them. You just shot yourself in the foot. A gal has a right to change her mind, RIGHT?
