Two GOP Lawmakers Under Ethics Review for Private Clubs

Reps. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) and Wesley Hunt (R-TX) are under review by the House Ethics Committee for payments to private clubs from their campaign committees, Punchbowl News reports.

In both cases, the Office of Congressional Ethics – the non-partisan ethics watchdog – recommended that the Ethics Committee open full-scale investigations. The Ethics panel announced today it is still evaluating the cases.

"The advisory board found that Jackson’s campaign expenses “may not be legitimate,” asserting that Jackson “used campaign funds to pay for unlimited access to the Amarillo Club, a private dining club located in Amarillo, Texas.”

The review documents that Jackson’s campaign fund, Texans for Ronny Jackson, has made consistent payments to the Amarillo Club since October 2020, including dues, membership food, beverage and membership fees. Between October 2020 and September 2021, the review found that Jackson’s campaign committee made 11 monthly dues payments to the club, totaling $1,929.07."

Haven't found out which club the other criminal Republican paid out to.
