White House adviser Peter Navarro violated a law that prohibits federal employees from engaging in politics while on duty, a watchdog said on Monday.

The Office of Special Counsel, helmed by President Donald Trump appointee Henry Kerner, said in a report that Navarro “violated the Hatch Act on several occasions when he engaged in political activity in his official capacity,” Kerner told Trump in a letter dated Dec. 7.
