GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: The Hatch Act doesn't apply to the president but it is against the law for government employees to use their job for political purposes.
CHRIS CHRISTIE: There's no question that that's the law, George. But it's the president doing what he's doing here and he’s directing it and the fact is that for him, the COVID changes everything. You know that Donald Trump would much rather be in that arena in Charlotte.
