Morgan Rimmer and Annie Grayer, CNN; House Committee on Ethics opening reviews of two lawmakers
"A nonpartisan House panel has called on two lawmakers to face a broader ethics investigation after allegations emerged of improper use of federal resources.
The House Committee on Ethics announced on Monday that it is continuing two investigations based on reports from October 2021 published by the Board of the Office of Congressional Ethics.
The board claims that it has "substantial reason to believe" that Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado misused official resources and Democratic Rep. Marie Newman of Illinois promised federal employment to a primary opponent to get political support.
Both Newman and Lamborn have denied the allegations, each alleging that the complaints were political in nature."
