DescriptionAn investigation into Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CD5) by the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) has found “substantial” evidence that Lamborn staffers performed personal tasks for him and his family in a misuse of official resources. The House Ethics Committee is now reviewing the findings of the OCE.

The OCE report came after a former staffer, Brandon Pope, filed a lawsuit against the Office of Doug Lamborn, alleging that Lamborn disregarded COVID-19 restrictions and retaliated against Pope. In the lawsuit, Pope alleged, “Lamborn allowed his son to live in Congressional space. Lamborn gave his son the necessary access to live in a storage area in the basement of the U.S. Capitol for a period of weeks when Lamborn’s son relocated to Washington, D.C. for work.”

The OCE report found that Lamborn’s staffers were often asked to help out his children, including preparing his son for interviews for a job in the federal government, and throwing a party for his daughter-in-law after she became a U.S. citizen.
