Pennsylvania state troopers under investigation for posing for Trump photo while in uniform [View all]

Dozens of state troopers are being investigated after they posed in uniform for a photo with former President Donald Trump, which may have violated rules about troopers taking part in political activities without first getting permission.

Penn Live reports that Democratic Gov. Tom Wolfe has launched a probe into the photo, which Trump has made the featured picture on his Truth Social profile even though it was supposed to have been a private photo.

As Penn Live notes, the photo raises questions "about whether the photo violated department policies that require approval for officers to 'engage in any activity while in uniform, off duty, without the prior approval of their Commander/Director.'"

A separate policy states that state troopers "shall not use their position for political influence," although it is questionable whether the photo taken with the former president really violated this rule.
