Just one day after announcing his 2024 Senate run, far-left radical and disgraced House Rep. Adam Schiff (R-CA) was hit with an ethics complaint for using government resources to boost himself politically.
“In the present case, Rep. Schiff is clearly using official government video for campaign purposes in violation of federal law and the House ethics rules,” a nonprofit ethics organization wrote in a letter to the Ethics Office on Friday. “The Office of Congressional Ethics is responsible for ensuring each Representative fulfills the public trust inherent in the office and that they comply with the House’s ethical standards. Therefore, we urge the Board to immediately investigate whether Representative Schiff used official resources for campaign purposes in violation of the House ethics rules.”
“To make it abundantly clear,” the complaint added, “both the House ethics rules and Senate rules specifically identify congressional video of floor proceedings as official resources that members are prohibited from using for political purposes.”
The complaint was triggered by a campaign video that featured the former Intel Committee member speaking on the Senate floor during Trump’s impeachment proceedings in 2019. According to the Washington Examiner, “ethics rules prohibit members from using government resources in their campaign materials, which include photographs or videos taken from inside the House or Senate”.
