White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Monday turned down a request to testify before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on possible violations of the Hatch Act, opening the doors for the committee to vote on issuing a subpoena to the close ally of President Donald Trump.
In a letter sent to the committee’s chairman, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the White House said it was declining the request and cited a precedent of White House staff not testifying before congressional committees. The committee had asked Conway to testify about reports from the U.S. Office of Special Counsel of multiple violations of the Hatch Act, whoch prohibits federal employees from engaging in many forms of political activity.
