Ethics committee finds GOP congressman may have violated federal law
Source: The Hill
The Office of Congressional Ethicals (OCE) has found that outgoing Rep. Rod Blum (R-Iowa) may have violated federal law in connection with a business he founded in 2016.
The OCE in a report released Monday said it has evidence that Blum misused House resources to support the company, Tin Moon, and allowed the company to engage in fraudulent business practices.
The findings in the report were collected in July. They were released on Monday along with a statement from the House Ethics Committee announcing that it will continue to investigate Blum's conduct.

The OCE's board in July voted to adopt the report, which concluded Blum "may have violated federal law, state law, House rules, and standards of conduct."
According to the report, Blum did not disclose the internet marketing business as an asset on a 2016 disclosure form. His ownership stake of Tin Moon was likely worth as much as $91,000, more than the $700 that Blum listed on an amended disclosure firm, The Washington Post noted.

Rep. Rod Blum, showing how well he relates to everyone.
He does have a quieter, more introspective side, however.
Blum, man of the people.
He's admired everywhere he goes.
Always a hero at town hall meetings.
