The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) has opened an investigation into allegations of whether the Trump campaign violated federal law by using the White House on Election Day as a command center, according to Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) and an OSC official.

The investigation comes in response to an election night complaint filed by Pascrell (pdf), which called for a probe into whether President Donald Trump and other members of the executive branch broke the law. The New Jersey lawmaker referred to reports suggesting Trump had used the space inside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building “as a campaign ‘war room.’”
