WASHINGTON — Facing an ethics complaint for his role in trying to overturn the 2020 election, Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley filed his own complaint Monday against the seven Democratic senators seeking an investigation of him.
Hawley accused the Democratic senators of abusing the ethics process with their complaint against him and Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz related to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
“They submitted their meritless complaint in potential coordination with a campaign by partisan and dark-money groups that have peddled falsehoods about me and my objection,” Hawley said in his letter to the Senate Ethics Committee requesting an investigation.
