7. SOUNDBITE (English) Sean Spicer, White House Press Secretary:

"I think the president's comments speak for themselves - no he has no regrets. But he's very proud of the selection he's made and he's gonna make a great associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

(reporter, off camera: Not about the selection, about the comments he said, for example, about ...)

I understand that and he has no regrets."

8. Wide shot of press

A White House spokesman says top adviser Kellyanne Conway has been "counselled" after she urged people to buy Ivanka Trump products during an interview on Fox News.

Press Secretary Sean Spicer says: "She's been counselled, and that's all we're going to say."

Conway spoke on Fox News Thursday morning from the White House briefing room. She encouraged people to "go buy Ivanka's stuff."

She made the comments a day after Trump attacked Nordstrom on Twitter for dropping his daughter's fashion line.

While Trump himself is not subject to the standards of ethical conduct for federal employees, Conway is. Among the rules: An employee shall not use his or her office "for the endorsement of any product, service or enterprise."

Spicer was also asked about a report that President Trump in his recent phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin denounced the START treaty, calling it a "bad deal."

Spicer refused to comment on the question, saying the "president's conversation with President Putin is a private call between the two of them and I'm going to leave it at that."

On Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, the White House spokesman said President Trump has "no regrets" about the pick, despite reports that Gorsuch told Senators he was "disheartened" by Trump's denigration of federal judges.
