The House ethics committee said Thursday that it is investigating
allegations of misconduct by Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.), who announced
Wednesday that he is not seeking re-election.
Massa said he was resigning because of health concerns. But POLITICO
reported Wednesday that several House aides said Massa had been accused
of making unwanted advances to a junior male staffer.
The chairwoman of the ethics committee, Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and the
committee’s ranking Republican, Jo Bonner (R-Ala.), released a
statement late Thursday saying: “The committee, pursuant to Rule 18(a),
is investigating and gathering additional information concerning matter
related to allegations against Representative Eric Massa.”
