Jackson may have violated federal law by using campaign funds to pay for private dining club, report finds

GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson may have violated federal law by using campaign funds to pay for "unlimited access" to a private dining club in Texas, according to a review by a House advisory panel, referring the matter for further investigation.
The Office of Congressional Ethics is asking the House Committee on Ethics to launch an investigation into Jackson's use of campaign funds after its review found "substantial reason to believe" that Jackson either converted campaign funds for personal use or expended funds that were not attributable to campaign or political purposes -- a potential violation of campaign finance law and House rules.
Jackson refused to cooperate with the investigation, according to the review, but his attorney disputed the findings in a letter to the House ethics panel.
