Lawmakers Push for Faster Ethics Committee Probes

“Democrats and Republicans are pressing the House Ethics Committee to move more quickly on investigations involving allegations of sexual misconduct or domestic abuse, as a string of high-profile cases and the looming midterms have renewed scrutiny of the secretive panel’s process,” NewsNation reports.

“Investigations into Reps. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA), Cory Mills (R-FL) and Max Miller (R-OH) — involving allegations of sexual harassment, dating violence or domestic abuse — have dominated headlines in recent weeks, prompting lawmakers to argue that the Ethics Committee needs to find a way to expedite such cases.”
