Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior White House adviser, Jared Kushner, has allegedly violated the Hatch Act. This prompted Democratic Congressmen, Ted Lieu and Don Beyer, to call on the Office of Special Counsel to start an investigation into Kushner’s role in fundraising for the Trump campaign.
According to the congressmen, Kushner violated the law by “engaging in prohibited campaign fundraising activities.”
Reports have suggested that Kushner has used his official role in the White House to aid President Donald Trump’s reelection effort.
Last week the Office of Special Counsel took the unprecedented step of recommending Kellyanne Conway's removal from service for violations of the Hatch Act.
