Trump's social media director admonished for political tweet about Rep. Justin Amash

The topic of whether or not this tweet violated An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities, commonly known as the Hatch Act of 1939, soon became a visible topic of discussion in the media.

"@justinamash is a big liability".

President Donald Trump's social media director Dan Scavino broke the law in April in calling for Trump supporters to defeat a Republican congressman at the polls, according to a letter from the U.S. Office of Special Counsel.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

He's fresh, he's motivated and Thiem, who has never won a Grand Slam , will have perhaps the tallest test of his entire career. The Romanian wasted four set points but evened the match on her next opportunity in the tiebreaker after saving a match point.

The Hatch Act bars executive branch members - other than the president, vice president, and a few others - from using their jobs to engage in political activity. "OSC has made clear with this ruling that they are going to enforce these important rules and work to keep the government free from inappropriate politics". "Accordingly, we issued Mr. Scavino a warning letter".

His initial tweet came when Scavino's account displayed a photo of himself in the Oval Office - a violation even though it was sent by his personal account because it represents him as a government official. His biography section now calls the account a "Personal Twitter Handle".

Two Cabinet officials were sanctioned for Hatch Act violations during the Obama administration.
