Statement of the Chairwoman and Ranking Republican Member regarding Representative Rick Renzi

Members involved

• Rick Renzi (R-AZ)

Statement

The Investigative Subcommittee investigating allegations related to the conduct of Representative Richard G. Renzi has communicated to the Chairwoman and Ranking Member of the full Committee that, after careful deliberation, the Investigative Subcommittee has voted to refrain at this time from attempting to interview or depose witnesses linked to the criminal proceedings involving Representative Renzi. The unanimous determination of the Investigative Subcommittee followed the receipt of a communication from the United States Department of Justice expressing concern that such investigative actions might create legal or factual issues that would complicate or impede the criminal prosecution and related law enforcement efforts in this matter. The Investigative Subcommittee’s scope of jurisdiction involves review of factual allegations that are the subject of the criminal indictment of Representative Renzi in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona which is scheduled for trial later this year.
