Ethics committee expands probe after emails further implicate Rashida Tlaib for misuse of campaign funds
November 15, 2019 | Vivek Saxena
Earlier this fall the House Ethics Committee opened an investigation into anti-Semitic Muslim Rep. Rashida Tlaib over allegations that she’d misused campaign funds to subsidize her personal lifestyle. Thus far, the results do not look promising for the 43-year-old congresswoman.
On Thursday the committee released its first report on the matter and announced that it’d be expanding the investigation even further.
“Rep. Tlaib’s campaign committee, Rashida Tlaib for Congress, reported campaign disbursements that may not be legitimate and verifiable campaign expenditures attributable to bona fide campaign or political purposes,†the report reads.
“If Rep. Tlaib converted campaign funds from Rashida Tlaib for Congress to personal use, or if Rep. Tlaib’s campaign committee expended funds that were not attributable to bona fide campaign or political purposes, then Rep. Tlaib may have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law.â€
