Bill Pascrell urges Hatch Act investigation of Trump White House

Bill Pascrell urges Hatch Act investigation of Trump White House 2The United States Special Counsel is investigating the use of the White House as a campaign “war room” by President Trump’s reelection campaign, according to Rep. Bill Pascrell, who made the initial push for an investigation. On Tuesday, Pascrell wrote a letter to the Special Counsel demanding a federal probe of the Trump campaign’s use of the White House after reports of the president’s campaign operating out of the Eisenhower Executive Office. That would violate the Hatch Act, which limits political activities of federal employees, Pascrell said.

Pascrell tweeted Thursday night that the Special Counsel is “investigating the Trump campaign’s use of the White House as an Election Day campaign command center.” The Hatch Act excludes the president and vice president.

Jensen, a family physician from Chaska who served in the state Senate from 2017 to 2021, is the first named plaintiff in a petition filed in federal court in Alabama by America’s Frontline Doctors, a group that has attempted to diminish the pandemic that has killed more than 590,000 Americans and pushed misleading and false information about the coronavirus, its lethality and debunked treatments and preventions, such as the use of hydroxychloroquine. The group’s leader, Simone Gold, was among those who entered the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection that sought to halt the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory over then-President Donald Trump, Gold has confirmed to the Washington Post .
