KELLYANNE CONWAY'S REPEATED HATCH ACT VIOLATIONS WOULD 'END THE CAREER OF ANY CAREER GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL': WATCHDOG
BY JESSICA KWONG ON 5/8/19 AT 10:38 AM EDT
Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway’s continued violations of the Hatch Act “would most likely end the career of any career government official,” according to a watchdog that filed a complaint Wednesday calling for an investigation on her.
In the complaint filed to the Office of Special Counsel, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) cites four recent instances in which Conway appears to have violated the federal law, which prohibits executive branch employees from using their official positions to influence or interfere with the outcome of an election.
Conway’s four alleged violations are in addition to two television appearances that the Office of Special Counsel in March 2018 determined had violated the act, and a complaint by CREW last October that is still under investigation by the office.
“I can’t think of anyone else who appears to have violated the Hatch Act so many times,” CREW spokesman Jordan Libowitz told Newsweek on Wednesday morning.
“Don’t want to make a call before the judgement of the OSC, but it would most likely end the career of any career government official,” he said.
