Trump and his team have made a mockery of our ethics laws and turned the federal government into his own partisan campaign arm. I have a new 22-page report on the lawlessness of the most corrupt administration in US history. Here’s what I found: https://www.boston.com/news/politics/2020/10/29/elizabeth-warren-trump-hatch-act-violations">https://www.boston.com/news/poli...
Under Trump’s watch, the @US_OSC has found that 14 administration officials have violated the Hatch Act over 50 times. At least another 22 more top Trump officials are presently under investigation for nearly 100 more Hatch Act violations.
The corruption starts at the top. Trump’s Chief of Staff, AG, Secretary of State, 8 other cabinet secretaries, top officials and family members have been accused of or found to have engaged in political activities on the taxpayers’ dime.
Former aide @KellyannePolls is the worst Hatch Act offender. Her violations were so egregious that the @US_OSC recommended her removal from office. But Trump wouldn’t do that. And Conway mocked the law, saying: “Let me know when the jail sentence starts.” https://www.citizensforethics.org/news/press-releases/conway-twitter-violated-hatch-act-50-times/">https://www.citizensforethics.org/news/pres...
Trump’s daughter/advisor @IvankaTrump has had multiple complaints filed against her for repeatedly violating the Hatch Act with her political tweets and campaign travel. @US_OSC is still investigating – but so far, there have been 0 consequences. https://www.citizensforethics.org/reports-investigations/crew-investigations/ivanka-trump-violated-the-hatch-act-eight-times-in-just-over-48-hours/">https://www.citizensforethics.org/reports-i...
Secretary of State @SecPompeo is under investigation right now by @US_OSC for filming a speech that aired during the @GOP Convention while on an official trip to Israel. He also pledged on @FoxNews to use his office for partisan games before the election. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/522755-office-of-special-counsel-widens-pompeo-probe-into-hatch-act">https://thehill.com/homenews/...
Despite these repeated and flagrant Hatch Act violations, Trump administration officials have not faced any meaningful consequences. Again and again, the President’s friends and allies have misused their public positions and broken the law because they believe they are above it.
Corruption spews out of the Trump White House, and it’s easy to become numb to it all. But take a look at my report. No one is above the law. We must enforce anti-corruption laws that protect our democracy, and we must have a President who adheres to them. https://www.warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/warren-releases-new-report-lawlessness-and-disorder-the-corrupt-trump-administration-has-made-a-mockery-of-the-hatch-act">https://www.warren.senate.gov/newsroom/...
