But the Jan. 2 phone call neither was “perfect,” as Mr. Trump claims, nor did it have anything to do with federal operations. Mr. Meadows’s defense defies the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from using their official roles to influence elections. Even in the White House, where the lines sometimes get blurry, there’s an important distinction between the work someone does for their taxpayer-funded paycheck and outright electioneering. Mr. Meadows wasn’t just acting as a staffer for his his boss; he was clearly advocating on behalf of the reelection campaign.
