Gerry Connolly (D-VA11) and the House Committee on Oversight and reform, which has now “sent a letter asking the independent Office of Special Counsel (OSC) to investigate reports of multiple, repeated violations of the Hatch Act by the Trump Administration during the Republican National Convention last week.” The bottom line: ““Throughout the Convention, Administration officials repeatedly used their official positions and the White House itself to bolster President Trump’s reelection campaign…We are alarmed that President Trump and some senior Administration officials are actively undermining compliance with—and respect for—the law.”
