House Ethics Committee Finds ‘Substantial Evidence’ Democrat Congressman Committed Crimes
The Democrat-controlled House Ethics Committee said in a statement Friday that an investigation has concluded that there is “substantial evidence” that Delegate Michael F.Q. San Nicolas of Guam, a non-voting member of the House of Representatives, committed campaign finance-related crimes and that it has referred the matter to the Department of Justice.
“At the completion of its investigation, the ISC unanimously concluded that there was substantial evidence that Delegate San Nicolas: accepted improper excessive campaign contributions; engaged in a conspiracy to hide the proceeds of the illicit campaign contributions; knowingly caused his campaign committee to file false or incomplete reports with the Federal Election Commission; and attempted to improperly influence a witness in connection with this Committee’s investigation,” the Committee said in a statement. “In light of the Delegate’s impending retirement from the House and the potential for expiration of applicable statutes of limitations, the ISC recommended that the Committee refer these allegations to the Department of Justice.”
“The Committee on Ethics has unanimously voted to adopt the ISC’s report, and with it, refer the substantial evidence of potential violations of federal criminal law to the Department of Justice for such further action as it deems appropriate,” the statement continued.
