DEMS/ETHICS/KELLYANNE CONWAY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump said on Friday [6-14-19] that he has no plans to fire top aide Kellyanne Conway after an independent federal agency recommended that she be removed from her job after she repeatedly used her office for political purposes. The U.S. Office of Special Counsel sent a report to Trump on Thursday [6-13-19] that said Conway repeatedly violated the Hatch Act by criticizing Democratic presidential candidates while speaking in her official capacity. It was the first time the office made such a recommendation for a White House official. On Friday, Trump fiercely defended Conway and criticized the Hatch Act, saying it unfairly muzzles officials.”
