Just this morning, CREW announced we were sending an ethics complaint against Rep. Vito Fossella to the House Ethics Committee.

The New York Daily News is reporting on that development:

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington announced today it sent an ethics complaint against Rep. Vito Fossella to the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct seeking an investigation into whether he violated any travel rules and/or the prohibition on conduct that reflects badly on the body.

As is The Hill:

An ethics watchdog group filed a formal ethics complaint against Rep. Vito Fossella (R-N.Y.) on Monday.

The first official complaint against the Staten Island Republican, filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), asks the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct to investigate whether Fossella violated any House rules when he traveled overseas with retired Air Force Lt. Col. Laura Fay.
