House Ethics Committee Moves Ahead With Investigation of U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters

The House Ethics Committee will move forward with its investigation of U.S. Congressman Maxine Waters after determining that she had not been deprived of her rights.

In a five-page letter dated Wednesday, Robert Goodlatte, the committee's acting chairman, said committee members reviewed  more than 100,000 pages of documents , conducted legal research and interviewed 26 individuals before reaching its conclusion.

The committee has charged Waters (D., Calif.) with violating House rules by seeking federal financial assistance for OneUnited Bank, a Boston-based, African-American owned, Internet bank that at one time had ties to her husband, Sidney Williams, former U.S. Ambassador to the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.

Williams was a board member of OneUnited Bank and owned $350,000 of the financial institution's stock. OneUnited no longer lists Williams as a board member.
