White House pushes back on concerns Conway violated Hatch Act

The White House on Wednesday pushed back against concerns that Kellyanne Conway had violated the Hatch Act with her comments on the Alabama Senate race.

"Ms. Conway did not advocate for or against the election of a candidate, and specifically declined to encourage Alabamans to vote a certain way," White House principal deputy press secretary Raj Shah said in a statement.

"She was speaking about issues and her support for the President's agenda. This election is for the people of Alabama to decide," he said.

Conway earlier this week spoke out about the Alabama Senate race and Democratic candidate Doug Jones.
