Kellyanne Conway should be fired, says US watchdog

Kellyanne Conway could be in hot water.

A US watchdog says the White House aid should be sacked for taking part in illegal political actives while she was in office.

The Office of Special Counsel says Conway is guilty of campaigning for candidates while on the job.

According to the government oversight agency, that’s not allowed under something called the Hatch Act. 

How has the White House responded?

They said the assertions are "deeply flawed" and "unprecedented.”
