A former Housing and Urban Development official who served under ex-President Donald Trump admitted violating the Hatch Act when she helped produce a video for the Republican National Convention, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel said Tuesday. The Hatch Act is intended to stop certain federal employees from engaging in partisan political activity, but it is not always enforced. Patton wanted public housing residents "to appear in the video to explain how their standard of living had improved under the Trump administration," the office said. It may be a Hatch Act violation. CREW had repeatedly accused other Trump administration officials, including the then-president's daughter and advisor Ivanka Trump, of violating the Hatch Act.

A top Ivanka Trump initiative was deeply flawed and mismanaged, according to a new independent report. The rollout of programs funded through a 2018 women's empowerment bill failed at one agency. Ivanka didn't directly oversee the program but did promote her role in expanding aid to female workers. Former President Donald Trump's eldest daughter and adviser, Ivanka Trump, helped promote the policy program and ushered the bill through Congress. According to Politico, Ivanka Trump praised the Women's Global Development and Prosperity Initiative as "enabling us to rigorously track the execution and the efficacy of the money that we are spending."

Another nearly identical set of rattan chairs on Walmart.com retailed for over $300 and is also sold out. Oprah's Götti eyeglasses spawned articles with several lookalike frames, and the designer of Meghan's dress was quickly identified as Giorgio Armani.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump issued a wave of pardons Tuesday night, using the final hours of his presidency to grant clemency to 143 people, including former top White House aide Steve Bannon, according to a list made public by the White House on Wednesday morning. Broidy was a top fundraiser for Trump and the Republican Party who pleaded guilty in October to conspiring to violate foreign lobbying laws. "He appreciates President Trump for taking the time to recognize that he can contribute to society in a meaningful way."
