DescriptionA federal agency is recommending that White House adviser Kellyanne Conway be removed from federal service, saying she violated the Hatch Act on numerous occasions.

The US Office of Special Counsel said Conway erred by making "disparaging Democratic presidential candidates while speaking in her official capacity during television interviews and on social media."

"Ms. Conway's violations, if left unpunished, would send a message to all federal employees that they need not abide by the Hatch Act's restrictions. Her actions thus erode the principal foundation of our democratic system -- the rule of law," the letter said.

The recommendation carries no actual power to remove Conway. That decision is up to Trump.
