The Department of Justice, the House and Senate Ethics Committees, and the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) do not publicly divulge which members they are investigating. The OCE’s first quarterly report published in April revealed that the office has launched 10 reviews of lawmakers or congressional staff, but the OCE only disclosed Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL) as under review. He is included on CREW’s list.
