White house top adviser posture during a photo session sparks media storm

Senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway has sparked a social media storm after pictures emerged of her kneeling on the sofa in the Oval Office with her shoes on.

Ms Conway is seen clutching her phone as US President Donald Trump poses with leaders of historically black colleges and universities.

Twitter users accused her of "disrespect".

Ms Conway was taking her own photos at the time.

"That's no way to act in the People's Oval Office," tweeted one user of the social media site.

"Think of all the great people who sat on that couch and put your feet down," wrote another. The images led some to question Ms Conway's body language, suggesting that she was not taking the meeting on Monday seriously.
