   The Office of Special Counsel found that Navarro repeatedly violated the Hatch Act by using his White House title, official authority, and government media appearances to influence the 2020 election for Trump. OSC referred the report to the president because discipline of a presidential appointee rested there. The finding was administrative, not a criminal conviction.
