falsifying campaign finance reports

In 2024, Rep. Ogles was accused of falsifying campaign finance reports when his amended finance reports were compared to the originals. He claimed he had loaned his campaign $320,000 in 2022 and had not. It's unclear whether the the money came from elsewhere or was entirely made up. He also amended finance reports to remove both contributions and expenditures. In the first week of August, 2024, a Department of Justice search was conducted and his cell phone seized. The House Ethics Committee began an investigation in 2024 and extended the matter into the 119th Congress.
