US Agency Calls for Trump Aide's Firing

Ken Bredemeier

   A U.S. government watchdog agency on Thursday recommended that
   Kellyanne Conway, one of President Donald Trump's closest White House
   aides, be fired for repeatedly engaging in partisan political attacks
   while working as a federal employee.

   The Office of Special Counsel, unrelated to special counsel Robert
   Mueller, who investigated Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential
   election, said that Conway has become a "repeat offender" of the Hatch
   Act, which strictly limits federal workers from engaging in political
   activity while on the job.

   "Given that Ms. Conway is a repeat offender and has shown disregard for
   the law, OSC recommends that she be removed from federal service," the
   office said in a statement.

   The agency's report said she violated the law by "disparaging
   Democratic presidential candidates while speaking in her official
   capacity during television interviews and on social media."
