Statement

On July 31, 2014, the Committee on Ethics received a referral from the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) regarding Representative Paul Broun. Pursuant to House Rule XI, clause 3(b)(8)(A) and Committee Rule 17 A, the Chairman and Ranking Member jointly decided on September 15, 2014, to extend the Committee’s review of the matter. In order to gather additional information necessary to complete its review, the Committee will review the matter pursuant to Committee Rule 18( a). 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. In order to comply with Committee Rule 7 regarding confidentiality, out of fairness to all respondents, and to assure the integrity of its work, the Committee will refrain from making further public statements on this matter pending completion of its initial review. Pursuant to Committee Rule 17A, the Committee hereby publishes OCE’s Report and Findings relating to allegations against Representative Broun.
