House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi Calls For Ethics Investigation On Rep. Weiner
The fallout from Rep. Anthony Weiner‘s news conference Monday includes a formal Congressional investigation, as House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Steve Israel, the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee are now calling for an ethics investigation over the series of sexually explicit conservations and lewd photos Weiner exchanged with at least six women over the last three years. “I am deeply disappointed and saddened about this situation; for Anthony’s wife, Huma, his family, his staff and his constituents,” Pelosi said in a statement released on Monday night.
Politico quotes the two Democratic lawmakers saying the focus of the investigation will involve any possible misuse of Congressional resources:
“I am calling for an Ethics Committee investigation to determine whether any official resources were used or any other violation of House rules occurred.”
Israel added: “Congressman Anthony Weiner engaged in a deep personal failure and inappropriate behavior that embarrassed himself, his family, and the House. Ultimately, Anthony and his constituents will make a judgment about his future .
“To remove all remaining doubt about this situation, I agree with Leader Pelosi’s request that the House Ethics Committee use its authority to begin an investigation.”
