A federal watchdog led by a Trump appointee has recommended Kellyanne Conway be fired
to President Trump from the federal Office of Special Counsel that cites Conway’s disregard for the Hatch Act, which prohibits executive branch office holders from using their post to actively engage actively in politics.
Conway serves as the counselor to the president. The report cites numerous occasions of Conway appearing in an official capacity on news shows and on social media and then proceeding to disparage prominent Democrats. The OSC is an independent agency charged with aiding whistle-blowers and enforcing federal ethics laws. It is run by a Trump appointee. The report calls Conway a “repeat offender,” and warns that her “violations, if left unpunished, would send a message to all federal employees that they need not abide by the Hatch Act’s restrictions. Her actions thus erode the principal foundation of our democratic system — the rule of law.”by the same office found that Conway had violated the Hatch Act twice.
