Congressman Alex Mooney (R-W.Va.) is under investigation following a 54-page Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) report.
The Ethics Committee will determine whether Mooney accepted gifts, including a free or heavily discounted trip to Aruba, on behalf of a company that consulted for his campaign.
According to OCE's report, there is substantial evidence Mooney accepted the gifts, which โmay have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law.โ
Mooney defeated fellow Congressman David McKinley in a contentious primary two weeks ago. President Donald Trump had endorsed Mooney.
The Washington Examiner further reports:
The report also said Mooney โroutinely diverted official resources and staff time away from his constituents and official duties in favor of his and his family's personal needs and sometimes for campaign activities,โ in part by using staff for โpersonal needs.โ
The report was referred to the House Ethics Committee for investigation. Mooney's office did not respond to an inquiry from theย Washington Examiner.

Both McKinley and Mooney representย West Virginia districts, but the state's redistricting process shrunk the Mountain State's three-member delegation to two after the recent census found heavy population loss over the past decade in the state.

Just more commiecrat obfuscation.
How absurd!!! Where is the ethics committee on Pelosi??? Biden?? Schumer?? Now thereโs a cesspool of violations if ever there was one. Add in any, any Democrat. Clearly this is a very biased org.
Not only are the trio you mentioned (Pelosi, Biden, Schumer) unethical. They are also sneaky, corrupt, money and power hungry, and the greatest danger this country faces! Ethics Committee??? And just who is on this so-called Committee? Maybe THEY need to be investigated!!
