Ethics review finds probable cause that Rep. Troy Nehls misused campaign funds

The independent office that reviews allegations against House members found probable cause that Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas converted campaign funds to personal use, triggering an investigation by the House Ethics Committee, a new disclosure revealed Friday. The recommendation and the full report from the Office of Congressional Ethics were both released Friday, as required under the law.

The office said Nehls declined to cooperate with its investigation and due to that lack of cooperation, no witnesses could confirm that the payments made to Liberty 1776 were for legitimate campaign purposes. The report also stated that Nehls did not disclose any income derived from Liberty 1776 on his financial disclosure forms required for members and candidates. An attorney representing Nehls disputed the lack of cooperation with the Office of Congressional Ethics.
