Ethics Committee dismisses allegations that Democrat senator used taxpayer funds for personal trips
Fox News
Senate Ethics Committee clears Sen. Tammy Baldwin of alleged misuse of taxpayer funds for personal trips, citing lack of evidence.
Baldwin faced accusations from the watchdog group, Americans for Public Trust, in a complaint filed Sept. 6 for allegedly "expending taxpayer dollars for exclusively personal travel to New York." Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
It’s unclear what information the ethics committee used to dismiss the complaint. The committee has not issued any disciplinary sanctions upon a member in more than 15 years. Fox News Digital has reached out to the committee for comment.
