Special counsel: Peter Navarro violated Hatch Act 'on several occasions'

The U.S. Office of Special Counsel found White House economic adviser Peter Navarro violated the Hatch Act ‘on several occasions.”

“OSC concluded that Dr. Navarro violated the Hatch Act on several occasions when he engaged in political activity in his official capacity,” Special Counsel Henry Kerner wrote in a letter to President Trump with the report on Monday. “OSC provided Dr. Navarro with an opportunity to respond to the report, but he has chosen not to do so. Therefore, OSC submits this report to you for appropriate action.”
