Accordingly, the Hatch Act does not prohibit President Trump from delivering his RNC acceptance speech on White House grounds," a letter explaining the determination said. "However, White House employees are covered by the Hatch Act, so there may be Hatch Act implications for those employees, depending on their level of involvement with the event and their position in the White House," the letter said. The Trump White House has encountered Hatch Act violations before, and Trump has generally ignored recommendations for employees to be reprimanded. Officially, there are two more convention events scheduled to take place at the White House. And on Thursday night, the President will conclude the convention by delivering his speech on the White House stage.
