The Treasury Department on Wednesday deleted its Donald Trump retweet after concerns about possible ethics violations were raised, reports The Hill. "Great Republican election results last night. So far we have the team we want. 8 for 9 in Special Elections. Red Wave!" the tweet in question read. While the president is free to make such political comments whenever he'd like, the Hatch Act dictates that federal employees are not permitted to partake in political activities while they're on the job, notes CNBC. That was quickly pointed out by a bevy of Twitter users and ethics experts. A Treasury Department representative told CNBC that the Trump retweet was made "in error."
