House Ethics Committee Defers Rep. Grimm’s Case to DOJ Again
Published at
Andrew Burton/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) — The House Ethics Committee has once again deferred consideration of Rep. Michael Grimm’s alleged violations of campaign finance law to the Department of Justice.
Grimm, R-N.Y., is alleged to have solicited and accepted prohibited campaign contributions, caused false information to be included in campaign finance reports and allegedly made a deal with a foreign national to collect campaign contributions in exchange for help getting a green card.
The committee had previously made a similar decision on Nov. 26, 2013, when it deferred action on the case.
The committee says it will make public statements at least annually regarding Grimm’s ethics referral.
