GovExec Daily: Reevaluating the Hatch Act
Citizen for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington's Donald K. Sherman joins the podcast to discuss the complexities surrounding the rule in the Trump era.
The Hatch Act is something that feds need to keep in mind in any year, but 2020 is an election year, making things particularly difficult for federal employees. The Trump/Biden matchup has raised hackles throughout the country and feds are not outside of that. Adding to the conundrum are the high-profile members of the administration who have questioned the Office of Special Counsel’s authority in enforcing the Hatch Act against them.
Donald K. Sherman, Deputy Director of the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, spoke to the podcast about the Hatch Act enforcement in the Trump era.
