Ex-Trump doctor Ronny Jackson may have broken federal law by spending campaign cash on a dining club
Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, may have used campaign funds to pay for a private dining club membership, the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) found on Monday.
In a recent investigation, OCE found that there is “substantial reason to believe” the Texas lawmaker converted campaign funds from his campaign committee “Texans for Ronny Jackson” not for “political purposes.”
Jackson’s campaign committee reportedly used campaign funds to pay for unlimited access to the Amarillo Club, a private dining club located in Amarillo, Texas, that describes itself as a place of “romantic evenings, life event celebrations, business meetings, special receptions.”
According to OCE, Texans for Ronny Jackson repeatedly made payments to the Amarillo Club between October 2020 and September 2021, which would put him in violation of House rules and federal law.
