GOP Wants Massa Ethics Probe Re-Opened
Tweet
WASHINGTON (AP) – House Minority Leader John Boehner wants the House ethics panel probe of former Rep. Eric Massa to be reopened.
The Ohio Republican said Thursday there are many unanswered questions surrounding the sexual harassment allegations that were made against the New York Democrat. Boehner (BAY’nur) said he plans to file a House resolution on the matter later Thursday.
Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, the House Democratic Campaign Committee chairman, confirmed earlier that the ethics panel had ended its investigation of Massa’s alleged harassment of male staff members after Massa surrendered his seat. Republicans, seeking to recapture control of the House in the midterm elections, are portraying Massa as the latest symbol of Democratic ethical misconduct.
