Watchdog group files Hatch Act complaint over federal agencies blaming Democrats for shutdown

A watchdog group, Public Citizen, has taken action by filing a Hatch Act complaint against two federal agencies for placing blame on Democrats for the government shutdown. This complaint targets Kelly Loeffler of the Small Business Administration and Scott Turner from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The significance of this complaint lies in the potential violation of the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from engaging in political activities while on duty, highlighting the ongoing tensions in U.S. politics and the accountability of government officials.
