-- A House committee voted Wednesday to authorize a subpoena for testimony from Kellyanne Conway, a top aide to President Donald Trump, after the White House said this week she was immune from having to testify before the panel.
In a report released last week, the independent U.S. Office of Special Counsel recommended that Conway be “removed from federal service” for disparaging Democratic presidential candidates in her official capacity as a senior White House adviser. “Contrary to the claims from Ms. Conway and President Trump, this is not a conspiracy to silence her or restrict her First Amendment rights,” said Cummings, of Maryland. “This is an effort to enforce federal law, which very clearly prohibits employees from engaging in political activities on federal property while using their official position.
Jordan ticked off several aides to former Democratic President Barack Obama who he said did the same thing: David Plouffe, David Axelrod and John Podesta.
