House Ethics Committee Reviewing Potential Campaign Finance Violations by Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib

The House Ethics Committee is reviewing potential campaign finance violations by radical Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI)

Rashida Tlaib paid herself $45,500 from her campaign funds — $17,550 which was paid to Tlaib AFTER the 2018 election.

Politico reported:

The Office of Congressional Ethics has recommended an investigation into claims that Tlaib reimbursed herself from her campaign fund after the 2018 election, when she was no longer a candidate. Tlaib’s office denied any misuse of funds, stating that the Michigan freshman “fully complied with the law and acted in good faith at all times.”
While candidates are allowed to pay themselves a salary during the campaign, Tlaib reported a salary of $17,500 in two payments after the Nov. 6 election, according to her disclosure. The payments were dated Nov. 16 and Dec. 1.
The Federal Election Commission states that salary payments may continue “until the date of the general election.”

As expected, Rashida Tlaib pushed back on claims she misused campaign funds.

“Representative Tlaib has cooperated completely with the Committee to resolve the referral, which involves the same claims over her publicly disclosed salary during the campaign that conservative groups pressed back in March,” Tlaib spokesperson Denzel McCampbell wrote in a statement to Politico.

The Ethics Committee has 45 days to announce whether the review has turned into a full investigation or to extend its review of Tlaib.
