GOP Attorneys General Accuse Education Secretary of Hatch Act Violations

Education Secretary Miguel Cardona allegedly used his office for partisan political activities related to student loan forgiveness.

Montana and Kansas attorneys general filed a complaint against Cardona for partisan statements.
Cardona's comments were linked to Biden's student loan forgiveness plans, potentially influencing the 2024 election.
The Hatch Act prohibits federal employees from engaging in partisan activities while on duty.
Watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust also filed a complaint, calling Cardona's email 'glaringly political.'
Department of Education defends Cardona, stating his comments were factual and intended to clarify loan statuses.
