The independent office that reviews allegations against House members has found probable cause that Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas converted campaign funds to personal use.
FILE - Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, is pictured during a news conference on Capitol Hill, Feb. 1, 2023, in Washington. The independent office that reviews allegations against House members has found probable cause that Nehls converted campaign funds to personal use. The finding and a 6-0 recommendation to investigate further was contained in a new disclosure revealed Friday, May 10, 2024, to meet public disclosure requirements.
The ethics office said Nehls’ campaign committee made more than $25,000 in rental payments since late 2019 to an entity known as Liberty 1776, LLC, and that a review of state records shows that he was the registered agent for the company. An attorney representing Nehls disputed the lack of cooperation with the Office of Congressional Ethics. Rather, counsel objected to ambiguously worded requests for information. And the Office of Congressional Ethics never responded to clarify the review's scope, he said.
