At least one employee at the Environmental Protection Agency downloaded the app "Boycott Trump" on a government phone.
Employees are also using dating apps, playing Candy Crush, and watching Netflix on their taxpayer-funded phones, according to a new report by Cause of Action Institute, a nonprofit oversight group.
