The House Ethics Committee announced on Monday that it is investigating accusations against two Republican congressmen from Texas for potentially violating ethics rules by using campaign funds to pay membership dues at private social clubs.
One of the congressmen, referred to as Rep. Ronny Jackson, allegedly had his campaign committee pay over $6,800 in membership dues to The Amarillo Club, a fine dining club and gym in downtown Amarillo. The other congressman, identified as Rep. Wesley Hunt, reportedly had his campaign pay over $5,400 in dues to The Oak Room, a private social club in Houston.
