The House Ethics Committee is currently investigating former members for leaking information related to a case involving Rep. Jim Costa (D-CA), who was accused of making inappropriate advances toward staff members in 2023. According to a report by NOTUS, the committee has sent letters to former members asking for information regarding any disclosures made during deliberations about Costa's case, which was ultimately dismissed. Sources indicate that some committee members had previously expressed concerns about Costa's behavior. The committee's actions come amid increasing scrutiny over its handling of various investigations, particularly those involving Reps. Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales, both of whom resigned from Congress. Critics from both political parties have voiced concerns about the committee's slow pace in addressing allegations of misconduct. In response to these issues, the Republican Women’s Caucus and the Democratic Women’s Caucus have initiated a task force aimed at reforming the House Ethics process and improving how allegations are reported, with recommendations expected by the upcoming summer recess.
