The following House members have come under scrutiny from the House ethics committee for a wide range of issues. In some cases, there was only was a preliminary review, but in others a full investigation by a subcommittee with subpoena powers. In each case, there has been no finding that the member has violated standards of conduct.
The partial list of names came from public announcements by the ethics committee and from a snapshot of the committee’s work last July in a document leaked to the Washington Post. The names are followed with a brief description of the investigative subject.
