CREW Urges Ethics Committee to Move Forward and Provide Accounting of Rep. Waters’ Investigation

Ethics, House Ethics Committee, Letters, House Members, Maxine Waters, Open Government

Today, CREW and a coalition of reform groups sent a letter to the House Committee on Ethics, urging the House ethics committee to resume work on the long-pending investigation of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) and to provide a public accounting of the status of the case.

No public notice of the status of the case has been provided since the abrupt and unexplained cancellation of a scheduled hearing in November. The case has been pending for more than two years and the letter stressed that the unexplained delay undermines confidence in the ethics process and is unfair to all parties involved in the case.
