Special Counsel Probing Trump Campaigns Use Of White House
By Andrea Shalal
WASHINGTON (Reuters) The U.S. Office of Special Counsel has opened an investigation into allegations that the Trump campaigns use of the White House as an Election Day command center violated federal law, Democratic Representative Bill Pascrell said on Thursday.
In a statement, Pascrell said the federal watchdog responded on Thursday to his call for a probe, telling him a special unit has opened an investigation into these allegations to determine if the Hatch Act was violated.
President Donald Trump monitored election returns in the living room of the White House residence on Tuesday, later addressing some 200 supporters gathered in the East Room.
Pascrell had asked the special counsel, Henry Kerner, to investigate reports suggesting that Trump used space in the adjacent Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the grounds of the White House as a campaign war room.
The New Jersey lawmaker said Trump was also expected to be briefed in the White House residence and the Oval Office throughout the day by campaign officials, which he said put executive branch officials at risk of violating federal law.

By having a large indoor maskless gathering - against every regulation and recommendation. Now a bunch of people are infected, spreading the disease even further. Some will get sick. Some may die. Every person involved in this superspreader event should not be in a public position - responsible for the health of others. They must be punished for their deadly irresponsibility.
