GOP-Led House Ethics Committee Announces Investigation Into Republican Member
The GOP-led House of Representatives’ Committee on Ethics announced an investigation into Representative Mike Collins (R-GA) and his chief of staff, Brandon Phillips, per a Friday statement.
The statement, from Chairman Michael Guest (R-MS) and Ranking Member Mark DeSaulnier (D-CA), reads, “The Committee on Ethics has extended the matter regarding Representative Mike Collins, which was transmitted to the Committee by the Office of Congressional Conduct on October 7, 2025.”
“The Committee notes that the mere fact of a referral or an extension, and the mandatory disclosure of such an extension and the name of the subject of the matter, does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred, or reflect any judgment on behalf of the Committee,” the statement continues, before promising a plan of action by January 5, 2026.
The statement regarding Phillips reads exactly the same. While the nature of the allegations against both Collins and Phillips has not yet been disclosed, the Daily Mail reported in July that Phillips had hired his “much-younger girlfriend” to work for the Georgia representative.
