House Ethics Committee mulls probing scandal-plagued Republican: report

Raw Story  

The House Ethics Committee is mulling over whether to investigate Rep. Andy Ogles, according to a report. Ogles, who just won his re-election despite the financial scandals, was said to have personally loaned $320,000 to his campaign despite showing no assets in his financial disclosure report. In January 2024, the Campaign Legal Center compared the Tennessee Republican to disgraced former Rep. George Santos in a complaint with the ethics office, alleging Ogles misrepresented his background and failed to properly report personal loans to his campaign, according to WTVF-TV. "Other amendments to his campaign financial reports resulted in Ogles retracting claims regarding thousands of dollars in campaign contributions and expenditures that he had previously reported to the Federal Election Commission," News Channel 5 Nashville reported. It's not clear from his financial disclosure reports where he got the money for this loan," said Campaign Legal Center counsel Danielle Coulter in November 2023.
