Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is facing accusations of a Hatch Act violation after being featured as a speaker at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night. The Hatch Act is a federal law that limits certain political activities of federal employees. Castro's colleague Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., called for Office of Special Counsel to look into the potential Hatch Act violations. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy responded Wednesday by saying that President Obama's Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was found to have violated the Hatch Act. Rep. Castro's brother, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, was also found to have broken the Hatch Act during a 2016 Yahoo News interview.
