Government Watchdog Group Accuses Jen Psaki of Violating Hatch ActAmy Furr 17 Oct 2021
A government watchdog organization has filed a complaint accusing White House press secretary Jen Psaki of violating the Hatch Act.
The news came after she appeared to praise Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe during her briefing on Thursday, the New York Post reported Friday.
“The complaint from Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington (CREW) to the Office of Special Counsel alleged that Psaki had improperly used her office to affect the outcome of next month’s election,” the outlet said.
She had been asked if the Biden administration believed McAuliffe’s race against Republican Glenn Youngkin was a “bellwether” before the 2022 midterm elections, the Post article continued:
“Well, I have to be a little careful about how much political analysis I do from here,” Psaki began before saying that President Biden “of course wants former Gov. McAuliffe to be the future governor of Virginia. There is alignment on a lot of their agenda, whether it is the need to invest in rebuilding our roads, rails, and bridges, or making it easier for women to rejoin the workforce.”
