Government Executive: Another member of President Trump’s team is in trouble for violating the Hatch Act, with a watchdog now citing his ambassador to the United Nations for improperly engaging in political activity.

Her @NikkiHaley account is a personal one, but the Office of Special Counsel still said the retweet violated the Hatch Act because her biography on the page described her position of UN ambassador. OSC, which investigated the incident in response to a complaint filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, issued a warning letter to Haley.
