President Donald Trump said he won’t fire White House adviser Kellyanne Conway following a government watchdog’s recommendation she be “removed from federal service” for disparaging Democratic presidential candidates in her official capacity as a senior White House adviser.“No, I’m not going to fire her,” Trump said Friday during a phone interview with Fox News. “She’s been loyal.”Conway repeatedly violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits government officials from conducting politics while acting in their capacity as a federal employee, the independent U.S. Office of Special Counsel said in a report released Thursday.
Trump said he was briefed on the report Thursday and he’s going to get another “very strong briefing on it.”
