Pelosi Calls for Ethics Probe of MahoneyMere hours after ABCNews.com reported that Rep. Tim Mahoney had agreed to pay $121,000 to a former mistress and Congressional staffer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called for an ethics investigation into the allegations.
“I just learned today about the serious allegations concerning Congressman Tim Mahoney,” Pelosi said in a statement released last night. “These charges must be immediately and thoroughly investigated by the House Ethics Committee.”
