Government Watchdog Accuses Neera Tanden of Violating Hatch Act Over 2024 Election Fundraising

Nov 7, 2024, 06:20 PM

Neera Tanden, the White House Domestic Policy Adviser, has been formally accused by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel of violating the Hatch Act. The allegations stem from her social media activity on X, where she is accused of soliciting political contributions during the 2024 election season, violating the ban on political fundraising. Tanden's actions have drawn significant scrutiny, as the Hatch Act is a crucial law regulating the political activities of federal employees. A government watchdog has highlighted these violations. This is not the first time Tanden's social media presence has caused controversy; her previous tweets also cost her a Senate-confirmed job in the Biden administration.
