Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) asks the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) to investigate whether Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may have violated the federal Hatch Act. Wyden submits the request in a letter to the OSC’s acting special counsel, Jamieson Greer, after Kennedy spoke with two candidates running for congressional office last month. Wyden’s complaint centers on whether those interactions amounted to prohibited political activity under the Hatch Act. The filing urges an immediate review and potential action by the OSC. The OSC is an independent office within the federal government that handles complaints about Hatch Act violations and related matters involving restrictions on political conduct by certain federal employees and officials. While Wyden argues the conduct could constitute election-related interference, both outlets describe the OSC investigation request rather than any finding or adjudication. The matter is now pending, with the OSC expected to determine whether the complaint warrants further inquiry and whether any violation occurred.
