The House Ethics Committee announced it would further probe allegations that Rep. Troy Nehls may have misused campaign funds for personal purposes.
The committee said in March that it had received a referral about Nehls last year from the Office of Congressional Ethics. On Friday, the committee announced its plans to conduct a further review and released an OCE report detailing allegations against the Republican, who has represented Texas’ 22nd District since 2021.
The OCE, an independent, nonpartisan entity tasked with investigating allegations of misconduct made against House members and staff, said Nehls had declined to participate in its inquiry.
