The House Ethics Committee has cleared Democratic Rep. Lori Trahan over allegations that the freshman lawmaker failed to properly disclose the source of $300,000 in personal funds she loaned to her congressional campaign in 2018

.

Conservative groups filed complaints against Trahan following her 2018 victory, claiming that she failed to properly disclose all her personal financial assets until after winning her House race. The Massachusetts Democrat later acknowledged mistakes with her initial disclosure filings and campaign finance reports and filed amended versions of those documents.Trahan released a document stating that her husband Dave, a home builder, moved funds into a joint-checking account held by the couple.

The Ethics Committee announced last December that it was taking up the case following a review by the Office of Congressional Ethics, the independent ethics watchdog.“Representative Trahan’s prenuptial agreement with her husband established clear delineations as to the couple’s income and assets and rights to their income and assets during their marriage,” the committee concluded.

The Ethics Committee “also found no evidence that Representative Trahan’s omissions of required information or errors on her Financial Disclosure Statements and [Federal Election Commission] reports were knowing and willful, and accordingly, did not merit further action. In fact, Representative Trahan’s amendments to her disclosures on her own initiative show her good faith effort to comply with the relevant disclosure requirements.

The Ethics Committee said that if there were any problems on her campaign disclosure reports, that was an issue for the FEC and Trahan to resolve.

.This is because the Ethics Committee rarely polices their own especially if they are Democrats. Hopefully, the FEC will step in and address this obvious violation of federal election law.
