The Office of Special Counsel found that Conway had repeatedly violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits officials from using their position to engage in political activity.
on Thursday recommending that senior White House counselor Kellyanne Conway be removed from office for using her position to engage in prohibited political activity.
“If Ms. Conway were any other federal employee, her multiple violations of the law would almost certainly result in removal from her position,” Special Counsel Henry Kerner wrote in a letter to the White House introducing the report. “As a highly visible member of the Administration, Ms. Conway’s violations, if left unpunished, send a message to all federal employees that they need not abide by the Hatch Act’s restrictions.
White House counsel Pat Cipollone responded to the OSC in a letter released Thursday, writing that the office’s report on Conway “is based on multiple fundamental legal and factual errors, makes unfair and unsupported claims against a close adviser to the President and is the product of a blatantly unfair process.” In the letter, dated June 11, Cipollone also wrote that the OSC suggestion that Trump fire Conway “is as outrageous as it it is unprecedented.
Conway also told a reporter at the time who was going over the Office of Special Counsel’s previous findings about her issues with the Hatch Act: “Blah, blah, blah.”
