The House Ethics Committee has announced it will press ahead with an investigation into Georgia Republican Rep. Mike Collins’ office after a report alleged the congressman’s chief of staff, Brandon Phillips, paid an intern with whom he was romantically involved for work she may not have completed.
An Office of Congressional Conduct report from last September referred to the panel, alleging that Phillips paid a woman named Caroline Craze more than $10,000 for services rendered as a “District Office Paid Intern” in late 2023 and early 2024.
