Turning The Ballot Box Against Republicans

13 senior Trump officials violated Hatch Act

Eleven of those senior Trump officials allegedly violated the Hatch Act by "campaigning on
behalf of President Trump's reelection" during 18 official interviews or media appearances,
and two of them committed violations related to 2020 Republican National Convention,
the report said. The agency, which is charged with investigating Hatch Act violations, also
found that some Trump administration officials "intentionally ignored the law's requirements
and tacitly or expressly approved of senior administration officials violating the law."

The agency said it began investigating the officials after many complaints were submitted
during and after the convention.

The eleven former senior officials who allegedly committed media-related violations are:
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, Trump senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner,
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, national security adviser Robert O'Brien,
Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, White House
adviser Stephen Miller, White House deputy press secretary Brian Morgenstern, then-Vice
President Mike Pence's chief of staff Marc Short, White House communications director
Alyssa Farah and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was found in violation of the Hatch Act when he
addressed the 2020 Republican convention in a pre-recorded video, even after charging
employees to "not improperly engage the Department of State in the political process,
"a move where he used "his official authority while giving that speech to promote President
(Donald) Trump's candidacy," according to the report.

"Secretary Pompeo's approval of the change to State Department policy is a similar
manipulation of government business to benefit a particular candidate," the report also said.

Judge in Rittenhouse trial makes inappropriate Asian food joke

The judge presiding over the homicide trial of Kyle Rittenhouse confused observers after making
a strange and off-color joke inside the courtroom on Thursday.

"I hope the Asian food isn't coming... isn't on one of those boats from Long Beach Harbor," said
Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder as the court was preparing to take a lunch
break.

Schroeder, the longest-serving active judge in Wisconsin's trial courts, appeared to be referring
to the supply chain backlogs caused by congestion problems in California ports. But his comments
were offensive and perceived as anti-Asian by some and as placing blame on Asian people for a
large-scale event.
