As Trump's spokesperson, she should have had a better grasp on Trump's position on the matter:
House Republicans put aside their effort to curb the independence of a nonpartisan ethics board after a fierce backlash to it eclipsed other news on the first day of the new session of Congress.
Meeting behind closed doors, House Republicans unanimously decided to scrap their effort to place the independent Office of Congressional Ethics under the oversight of the House Ethics Committee, a move that would leave lawmakers policing themselves. That move drew criticism from President-elect Donald Trump, who questioned the timing of the move over other congressional priorities. Democrats and Speaker Paul Ryan had also voiced objections.
