The House Ethics Committee is investigating accusations that Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) — who lost a recent bid for a U.S. Senate seat — “took illegal contributions from two of his staff members and may have made false statements in an effort to cover it up,” the New York Times reports.
“A preliminary report on the matter, prepared by the quasi-independent Office of Congressional Ethics and released Wednesday, details the complicated set of accusations, which involve two former staff members in Mr. Stockman’s office.”
