First Lady Melania Trump’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham is coming under fire for violating the Hatch Act.
??The Act is a very specific law that prevents federal employees who work for the ??executive branch from working to affect elections in a partisan way.
??The confirmation of the violation from the special counsel’s office comes after Senator Tom Carper filed a complaint against Grisham.
??She used the 2016 campaign slogan Make America Great Again in one of her tweets.
??She uses the account in her official role as the First Lady’s communications director.
??Now...violating the Hatch Act is not a crime, just a workplace violation.
??The President and the Vice President are the only ones who do not have to follow the rules of the Act.
??White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, ??Social Media Director Dan Scavino and ??UN Ambassador Nikki Haley have also received warnings for their tweets.
