Wyden Calls for Hatch Act Probe on Kennedy | Charleston News
Description
Oregon Senator Ron Wyden is demanding an investigation into HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for allegedly violating the Hatch Act by contacting Libertarian candidates—Marco Battaglia and Rick Stewart—in Iowa, urging them to drop out of their races to favor Republican candidates. Wyden claims Kennedy’s motive was to preserve GOP control of the House and dodge Democratic subpoenas, warning that such interference undermines democratic choice. The Office of Special Counsel will now review the allegations, though no evidence beyond Wyden’s claims has been made public. This case underscores the Hatch Act’s role in shielding federal employees from partisan meddling.
