Nikki Haley found to have violated Hatch Act by retweeting President Trump

No further action will be taken, case closed, nothing to see here

U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley received a scolding from a government investigator which concluded her retweet of President Donald Trump was political speak.

Under the federal Hatch Act, federal employees — including ambassadors to the United Nations — can't use their position to deliver a partisan messages, including via Twitter, one of Haley's favorite methods of communication.

She received a warning letter of reprimand from the U.S. Office of Special Counsel as a result.
