House ethics committee votes to continue San Nicolas probe

There is an update with the ethics investigation into Congressman Michael San Nicolas. The Chairman and Ranking Member of the Committee on Ethics announced today that “the Committee unanimously voted to re-authorize an Investigative Subcommittee for the 117th Congress to review allegations involving Delegate Michael F.Q. San Nicolas.”

The Committee began its initial investigation more than a year ago into allegations that he converted campaign funds for personal use and allegations that he had an inappropriate relationship with a staffer, both of which are violations of House Rules.

According to a press release issued today, Honorable Darren Soto will serve as the Chair of the investigative subcommittee, and the Honorable Jackie Walorski will serve as the ranking member.

The Committee notes that the mere fact of an investigation into these allegations does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred.
