The Office of Congressional Ethics released a lengthy report Monday that found “substantial reason” to believe Rep. Alex Mooney had committed a number of ethical violations while in office—potentially even violations of federal law.
As a member of Congress, it’s usually not a good sign when an official ethics report is released about you with an entire section devoted to “tasks related to the family dog.”On Monday, the Office of Congressional Ethics released a lengthy report that found “substantial reason” to believe Mooney had committed a number of ethical violations while in office—potentially even violations of federal law.
But several Mooney staffers said they were required to do a variety of basic and complicated tasks for the family instead of—or in addition to—their official duties, including babysitting Mooney’s children, driving them to and from school, taking care of their dog, and chauffeuring the congressman long distances for personal reasons.
With the release of the OCE report, the House Ethics Committee will take up a review of Mooney’s conduct and weigh whether it merits formal punishment.
