FEMA employee violated Hatch Act with directive to skip homes with Trump signs, OSC says
- The US Office of Special Counsel filed a complaint against former FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington for instructing staff to avoid homes with Trump signs while providing disaster relief in Florida during Hurricane Milton.
- Washington's actions are considered a violation of the Hatch Act, as she engaged in partisan political activity while on duty, according to the OSC.
- FEMA workers reported skipping over at least 20 homes displaying Trump signs due to Washington's directive, which was not based on any credible safety concerns.
- Washington could face civil penalties or debarment from future federal employment if the Merit Systems Protection Board agrees with the OSC's findings.
