“This is a slam dunk Hatch Act violation,” former White House ethics chief Richard Painter said of Conway's attack on Joe Biden.
A chief ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush accused Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway of breaking federal law yet again for bashing former Vice President and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on the White House driveway the past two days.
Painter told Newsweek on Thursday that Conway is “obviously attacking Joe Biden,” and, “this is a slam dunk Hatch Act violation.” “The presumptive punishment is firing. They should have fired her the first time,” Painter said. “If President Trump will not remove White House officials who are clearly violating the law, he’s not doing his job and this would be yet another grounds for Congress considering impeaching and removing the president.”
Conway’s allegedly illegal remarks against Biden were first raised by MSNBC’s The Last Word anchor Lawrence O’Donnell on Wednesday. O’Donnell aired a clip of Conway saying on Tuesday, “by the way while I’m on the subject of Biden.”
