Presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway pushed back against accusations that her television appearances and social media use violated the Hatch Act, saying the law needs to be clarified.

Conway appeared Monday morning on Fox News to defend herself after the U.S. Office of Special Counsel put out a May 30 report saying that Conway repeatedly violated the Hatch Act and should be immediately removed from office.
