Fox News
A government watchdog has found White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre violated the Hatch Act when she referred to "mega MAGA Republicans" ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
"Because Ms. Jean‐Pierre made the statements while acting in her official capacity, she violated the Hatch Act prohibition against using her official authority or influence for the purpose of interfering with or affecting the result of an election," the agency wrote in a letter dated June 7 shared with NBC News.
