Ethics Committee Will Investigate Radel

The House Ethics Committee will launch a formal investigation into alleged misconduct by Rep. Trey Radel (R-FL), Roll Call reports.

“Radel has been on leave since late last month, when news broke that he had been arrested in the District of Columbia for cocaine possession. He is now checked into a rehab clinic in Florida, where he says he is getting help for his addiction issues that will enable him to get back to work — despite the many calls in and out of his home state for him to step down.”
