Holding an impeachment acquittal victory rally in the White House East Room. President Donald Trump made clear this week that he has no qualms about using the powers of his office to court voters in an election year. Among those participating: DeVos, as well as the secretaries of commerce, interior, and housing and urban development, and the acting White House chief of staff. Most notably, the office recommended in June 2019 that White House counsellor Kellyanne Conway be fired. Trump refused to take action against Conway, suggesting that the office was trying to take away her right to free speech.
