CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — A congressional ethics panel is
looking into the activities of U.S. Rep. Rob Andrews.
The New Jersey Democrat has reported using campaign money to pay for at least
18 trips to California, where his daughter has a fledgling career as a singer
and actress.
The House Ethics Committee says it would issue a decision on Andrew's case by
Aug. 31. It did not say exactly what was being investigated.
The committee says the matter was referred to it on April 2, days after The
Associated Press found Andrews had used campaign money to go to California at
least 18 times between 2007 and 2011.
In a statement to The Courier-Post of Cherry Hill (http://on.cpsj.com/Lrtwop ), which first
reported the probe, Andrews called the claims against him false and politically
motivated.
