Limited Exceptions
The Hatch Act provides a few limited exceptions, including for employees in certain high-ranking positions and for employees seeking to engage in political activities in certain municipalities.
Certain Executive Officials and Appointees
The Hatch Act provides an exception to allow certain high-ranking officials to “engage in political activity otherwise prohibited ... if the costs associated with that political activity are not paid for by money derived from the Treasury of the United States.”47 The exception is available to employees who hold positions with responsibilities that “continue outside normal duty hours and while away from the normal duty post,” **such as presidential advisers **or cabinet officers appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.48 In other words, these officials may engage in political activities during what would be considered official working time, as long as federal funds are not used for such activities. Any such official must reimburse the U.S. Treasury for the federal resources used in campaign activities.
She's likely Exempt as were Nikki Haley and Ryan Zinke. They are FOS, Obama Appointees.
Nothing to see here.
2019-06-13 | Federal watchdog recommends Conway be removed from role for Hatch Act violations | TheHill
'Late last year, the office found that six administration figures violated the law by tweeting political messages that were supportive of Trump. '
'His agency found that Conway violated the law during more than half a dozen interviews with Fox News and CNN between February and May 2019, including by accusing Sen. '
'Kerner, a former investigator for congressional Republicans, was nominated by Trump to lead OSC. He began his job in October 2017 after the GOP-controlled Senate confirmed him by voice vote. '
'All three are running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. '
'It said OSC sent a letter to Conway in December 2018 warning her about her use of Twitter and met with the White House counsel’s office twice in March “about her political activity during official media appearances,” then again in April about her Twitter account. '
