Fake GOP Websites Draw Ethics Complaint

“An ethics watchdog filed a formal request Wednesday for an investigation of National Republican Campaign Committee Chairman Rep. Greg Walden (OR), citing his team’s use of phony websites,” the Huffington Post reports.

“Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington — citing numerous reports of 18 GOP webpages that masqueraded as sites belonging to Democrats — is asking the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate whether or not Walden broke federal law or House rules by tricking Democratic supporters into donating to the GOP.”
