Navy Secretary Violates Hatch Act with Political Comments

Carlos Del Toro broke federal law by endorsing President Biden and criticizing former President Trump during an official trip to the UK.

Del Toro's remarks were made in a BBC interview and a speech in London.
He self-reported the comments but did not take full responsibility, according to the special counsel.
The Pentagon is currently reviewing the matter and its implications.
Violations of the Hatch Act can result in fines, suspension, or demotion.
The incident underscores the importance of maintaining an apolitical military.
