Sebelius hitting Obama campaign trail again after violation

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius apparently isn’t taking a campaign trail time-out despite being cited for violating federal law with her politicking earlier this year.

The secretary is set to speak at Obama campaign events this weekend in New Hampshire.

But the campaign is trying to avoid the legal pitfalls that snagged Sebelius the last time around when she was accused of making political statements in her official capacity.

An Obama campaign spokesman told FoxNews.com that in New Hampshire, “she is attending in her personal capacity.”

The Office of Special Counsel earlier this month determined that Sebelius broke the law when she made “extemporaneous partisan remarks” in a February speech in North Carolina. The office found she was in violation of the Hatch Act, which bars federal workers from using their official capacity to sway elections.
