    Re: Hatch Act violations:

    https://www.rawstory.com/trump-news-2664771297/

    ““Not only that, but Meadows is saying ‘he would have yelled at me if I didn’t do it.’ That alone is also a violation of the Hatch Act. It’s not just that President Trump was involved in the false electoral scheme, but he’s getting his chief of staff to do it. And the chief of staff knows if I don’t do this he’s gonna yell at me. That is a Hatch Act violation. One of the one of the only provisions of the Hatch Act that actually do apply to the president. You’re not allowed to, as president, tell an employee or intimidate an employee into engaging in political activity on behalf of a candidate. What else is that?“”
