An independent US government investigation has found that at least 13 senior Trump administration officials repeatedly and willfully violated a United States law that prohibits overt political activities while holding federal office.In a report on Tuesday, the US Office of Special Counsel (OSC) said the former officials violated the Hatch Act in connection with ex-President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and the controversial holding of the 2020 Republican National Convention on White House grounds.It said government resources were repeatedly used to promote Trump’s 2020 political campaign in “what appeared to be a taxpayer-funded campaign apparatus within the upper echelons of the executive branch”.
