The President received campaign donations — campaign donations from him — and many prominent Democrats did, some Republicans did as well. Will the President return that donation?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: I am covered by the Hatch Act, which I’m happy to say over and over again, because we believe in the rule of law here.
