Texas Congressman Troy Nehls is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee.
The committee did not specify what it is investigating and said it will make another announcement on the matter by May 10. The issue was first flagged to the committee by the independent Office of Congressional Ethics in December.
In a statement, Nehls said this was related to campaign money.
"I look forward to assisting the House Committee on Ethics inquiry into my campaign's finances," he said. "My campaign has complied with every Federal Election Commission (FEC) law, and my books are open."
In addition, Nehls told KTRH in a text:
“Not concerned. Politics. We are fully cooperating with the committee.”
