The House Ethics Committee announced Friday it was probing Texas GOP Rep. Troy Nehls for allegedly diverting $25,000 in campaign funds for personal use before and during his first term in Congress.

Ethics chairman Michael Guest (R-Miss.) and ranking member Susan Wild (D-Pa.) revealed that the investigation into Nehls, which began March 26, had been extended, but made no public statements on its progress.

“The Committee notes that the mere fact of conducting further review of a referral, and any mandatory disclosure of such further review, does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred, or reflect any judgment on behalf of the Committee,” Guest and Wild said in a statement.

The panel also released an Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) report from December laying out the allegations.


According to a friend, Nehls is going to endorse his brother who ran for Sheriff a couple of years ago and lost.
