What Happened
In 2019, Tlaib was accused of reporting improper campaign expenditures. In August, the Office of Congressional Ethics recommended further review by the House Committee on Ethics. In November, the House Committee on Ethics published the Office of Congressional Ethics Report and Findings and Tlaib's response. In August 2020, the House Committee on Ethics found that while Rep. Tlaib did receive campaign funds for personal use after the 2018 general election, it was an error and not malfeasance. She is fined $10,800, the amount she received after the election.
