WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department's legal office has reminded employees not to promote private interests on social media after its online accounts publicized President Donald Trump's private Florida resort and his daughter Ivanka Trump's new book.
An article on a State Department website in April about Mar-a-Lago and a retweet in May on the book were eventually withdrawn but the new guidance issued on Tuesday said employees should "exercise caution before using a Department social media account to highlight non-official activities of U.S. government officials and their family."
