Congressional ethics office gets new complaints about Nunes' wine business, financial disclosures
Two organizations sent letters to the Office of Congressional Ethics Wednesday demanding an investigation into Rep. Devin Nunes’ business investments.
The Campaign for Accountability alleged that Nunes, chair of the House Intelligence Committee who represents Tulare and Fresno counties, may have violated federal law by leaving out information on his financial disclosure forms.
In the complaint, the left-leaning federal government watchdog group in Washington, D.C., questions the congressman's affiliation with three California companies and whether he deliberately omitted information about his investments or failed to report any financial gifts he received from the companies' owners.
The complaint points to his investment in Alpha Omega, a Napa County winery listed as one of his primary assets, that he reported he purchased a piece of in 2006 for between $50,001 and $100,000 but receives little income from each year "despite (the winery's) apparent success."
Another issue: Vidonia LLC, a financial holding company that was in business between 2006 and 2009, listed Nunes and his wife as beneficial owners, but none of Nunes' disclosure forms mention the company.
