Arizona Rep. David Schweikert faces ethics investigation

[DesertRat]

The House Ethics Committee revealed Thursday that Congressman David Schweikert and chief of staff Oliver Schwab have been under investigation by a nonpartisan congressional watchdog.

Schwab allegedly received $165,000 in consulting fees from Schweikert's campaign committee, more than five times the congressional limit on outside income for a staffer.

The committee's announcement Thursday indicates the independent Office of Congressional Ethics determined there was substantial reason to believe ethics violations occurred.

Schweikert is a Fountain Hills Republican seeking a fifth term in office this fall.
