Special Counsel has opened an investigation into Trump's use of the White House for campaign-related activities, Reuters reports
The US Office of Special Counsel has opened an investigation into allegations of whether the Trump campaign violated federal law by using the White House on Election Day as a command center, according to Reuters. The investigation is in response to a complaint filed by US Representative Bill Pascrell, who represents New Jersey, on Election night. Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh said in a statement that "The war room needed to be in close proximity to the President and there is no expense whatsoever to American taxpayers."

Assuming of course he does not flee the country to Russia along with a ton of classified information as a bargaining chip to use to gain sanctuary like Snowden.

There is no doubt his campaign has been flouting the Hatch Act with claimed impunity since June...the only question is how many laws and how many convictions...but definitely not "IF"...

(28,344 posts)None that I'm aware of. I'm going to guess this is the first heavy shot from the intelligence community, with more to follow. He's fucked them over for four years, now it's their turn.
