Rooted in Truth.AP:
The Senate Ethics Committee already is conducting a preliminary inquiry into the call by Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., to a prosecutor in his state. The action was required once the committee received a complaint against Domenici from a congressional watchdog group.
The House’s ethics panel has more discretion on starting an initial inquiry. But Majority Leader Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said there should be one. Rep. Heather Wilson, R-N.M., contacted the same prosecutor as Domenici.
Edward Cassidy, a top aide to House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio and a former Ethics Committee staff member, contacted a prosecutor in Washington state.
