White House spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway was sidelined from appearing on
television in the wake of her on-air remarks contradicting official
comments on the Michael Flynn controversy, CNN reported on Wednesday.
Conway has not appeared on television since remarking last week that
Flynn offered to resign in the wake of his scandal surrounding his
discussion of sanctions with a Russian ambassador. That same day,
however, the White House officially said President Trump asked Flynn to
resign. Conway was “off message,” a White House source told CNN.
“Clearly they're having much more of a drama-free week,” another source
close to the White House said. “Having Kellyanne off television is
helping them.” Conway had also come under fire the week prior for openly
promoting Ivanka Trump’s clothing line during an interview with Fox
News—an ethical violation, as suggested by the House Oversight
Committee’s bipartisan leadership.
