Tlaib of wrongdoing, but orders funds to be returnedDETROIT An Ethics Committee investigation into payments received by Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib in 2018 found no wrongdoing, but orders her to return the funds. The Board of the Office of Congressional Ethics released on report regarding Tlaibs campaign spending during the 2018 election. The board found she was paid more than $17,000 from her campaign after the general election. While candidates are allowed to be paid by their campaign, its only for work performed through the general election. Tlaib won nomination for a second term in Congress this week, defeating Brenda Jones in the 2020 Michigan Primary Election.
