The US Office of Special Counsel has opened a case file on whether Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke violated the Hatch Act when he tweeted a photo of himself wearing socks featuring President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan.
The internal federal watchdog agency opened the file in response to a complaint from the government watchdog Campaign for Accountability.
“Breaking in new socks on a hike with the governors today,” the official @SecretaryZinke account tweeted on June 26 with a photo of Zinke’s “Make America Great Again” socks, according to the complaint.
