The House Ethics Committee just announced that they are expanding an investigation into Democrat congresswoman Rashida Tlaib for potential campaign finance violations.
The decision follows the release of email and text messages from 2018 between Tlaib and members of her staff in which she asked for campaign funds to be given to her for personal uses.
One of the emails reads:
So I was thinking the campaign could loan me money, but Ryan said that the committee could actually pay me. I was thinking a one time payment of $5k.
Another reads:
I am just not going to make it through the campaign without a stipend.
If charged for campaign finance violations, Tlaib will be the 3rd “Squad” member (along with AOC and Ilhan Omar) to face a campaign finance scandal.
Here’s the breaking news that hit Twitter:
