White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre violated the Hatch Act by making frequent references to "MAGA Republicans" during White House briefings, according to a letter from the Office of Special Counsel. The law bars civil servants from politicking during their day jobs. Penalties for Hatch Act violations are uncommon, and the office did not recommend any fines or other punishments for Jean-Pierre.
