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.
