Rep. John Duncan (R-TN) Improperly Used Campaign Funds
WASHINGTON – Congressional ethics investigators say they have found substantial reason to believe Rep. John J. Duncan Jr. improperly used thousands of campaign dollars on personal expenses for himself and his family.
The expenses totaled more than $100,000 and include trips for Duncan’s family and friends to the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia, the 2017 presidential inauguration in Washington and family travel to New York City for a National Republican Congressional Committee event, according to a report by the nonpartisan Office of Congressional Ethics.
Other expenses outlined in the 57-page report include thousands of dollars for membership dues and private parties, including baby showers and bridal dinners, at the Club LeConte in Knoxville and membership dues at the Knoxville Quarterback Club.
Congressional investigators analyzed thousands of pages of Duncan's credit card, travel and other purchase records since 2008 and concluded there is "substantial reason" to believe that he may have violated House ethics rules, standards of conduct and federal law, the report said.
