Federal watchdog recommends Conway be removed from office for Hatch Act violations
By Jordan Fabian and Al Weaver - 06/13/19 11:59 AM EDT

The Office of Special Counsel on Thursday urged President Trump to remove Kellyanne Conway as White House counselor over repeated violations of the Hatch Act, which bars federal employees from engaging in elections in their official capacity.

“The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) calls on President Donald J. Trump to remove Ms. Conway from her federal position immediately," the agency wrote in a letter to the White House.

The White House immediately rejected the office’s recommendation that Conway be fired, saying its findings are “deeply flawed and violate her constitutional rights to free speech and due process.”

If you’re trying to silence me through the Hatch Act, it’s not going to work,” Conway added. “Let me know when the jail sentence starts.”

LOL.

Why is the closed and shuttered Office of the Special Counsel still launching?
