House Ethics Committee Investigates Itself
The top Democrat on the House Ethics Committee, Alan Mollohan, will leave the panel - at least temporarily - while he defends his own financial conduct, Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said Friday.
The House Ethics Committee, which has been unable to agree on what to investigate for the past year and a half, will now investigate itself.
Since the beginning of last year, the leaders fought over internal rules and staffing, and in a recent meeting discussed - but were unable to agree - on launching any new investigations.
