White House Gives Phones to Senior Staff for Politics

“The White House will allow as many as a dozen senior advisers to receive additional cell phones so that they can contact the RNC regarding the fall midterm elections,” The Hill reports.

“A White House official, who was granted anonymity to describe the plan, said the arrangement was made in order to allow certain senior advisers to ‘conduct political activity during core working hours,’ when personal devices are not permitted inside working areas of the White House.”
