White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway should be “removed from federal service” for disparaging Democratic presidential candidates while speaking in her official capacity, a federal watchdog agency said.
Conway repeatedly violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits government officials from conducting politics while acting in their capacity as a federal employee, the independent U.S. Office of Special Counsel said in a report released Thursday. The agency has no enforcement powers and it would be up to President Donald Trump to discipline her.
