Ethics Investigators Launch Inquiry Into Lawmakers And Aides
WASHINGTON - OCTOBER 30: A sign for the Office of Congressional Ethics hangs on a wall October 30, 2009 in Washington, DC. A document from the House of Representatives ethics committee inadvertently placed on a publicly accessible computer network outlined investigations into the activities of 30 lawmakers from the House. The 22-page document, titled "Committee on Standards Weekly Summary Report," was discovered on a file-sharing computer server and also outlined investigations by the Office of Congressional Ethics, a quasi-independent body that initiates investigations and provides recommendations to the ethics committee.
