Either she (or her husband) actually placed an order to sell or buy a stock or she didn't; the headlines state that "she" sold the stock, but in the article she states that a financial adviser placed the trades.
If she has no authority to actually enter an order in her account, then it's incumbent upon the SEC or FINRA to demonstrate that her financial adviser had received an instruction from her to sell or buy a stock before any charges of wrongdoing can be made; without this, the story is nothing more than noise to try and fill a 24-hour news cycle that's constantly looking for filler.
It’s a poorly-written article, to say the least.

acually both could be true.
she could place an order to sell, but the licensed financial advisor (broker) would execute the trade orders
