House Ethics Committee Investigating Rep. Nehls Over Campaign Finance Issues

U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Richmond, is under investigation by the bipartisan House Ethics Committee for unspecified issues related to his campaign finances.

Nehls stated his campaign has complied with election laws and his books are open. The committee will announce by May 10 how it will proceed.

Nehls is known for his fiery personality and controversy, recently calling a Black congresswoman's husband a "thug," refusing to apologize.

His campaign lost $150K last year to wire fraud by an entity named "Misty J Productions," recovering over $130K of the stolen money.

The committee investigates House rules violations, referring cases to the Justice Dept. if criminal. It recently referred former Rep. George Santos for alleged finance violations.
