The House Ethics Committee has launched a wide-ranging investigation into GOP Rep. David Schweikert and his chief of staff, Oliver Schwab, over allegations the Arizona Republican misspent official funds and received illegal campaign contributions from Schwab and other employees, according to a statement from the secretive panel.
The probe follows a recommendation from the Office of Congressional Ethics — the independent ethics watchdog — that the Ethics Committee further explore Schweikert and Schwab’s activities.
Schweikert said in an interview that he welcomed the investigation, calling the issue a matter of “clerical mistakes” rather than an intentional violation of House ethics rules. Schweikert has repeatedly downplayed the issue since the scandal broke last year.
“It’s wonderful, because we have been asking to have a formal review so we can present our information since almost December,” Schweikert said of the investigation. Schweikert said he plans to meet with ethics investigators soon to make a presentation in the case.
