House ethics committee drops magnetometer fines for Reps. Rogers, Clyburn
Fox News
The House Ethics Committee dropped $5,000 fines facing both House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C., and Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., after they successfully appealed against allegations that they skirted House magnetometers Thursday.
Five lawmakers, including GOP Reps. Louie Gohmert of Texas and Andrew Clyde of Georgia, and most recently Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, have all been slapped with $5,000 fines for reportedly evading the security measures. Cylburn -- the only Democrat to be issued a fine – and Rogers are the first lawmakers to successfully appeal their fines to the House Ethics Committee.More Related News
