Yvette Clarke Part of Ethics Committee to Investigate Rubén Kihuen

The House Ethics Committee has announced the members of a subcommittee which will investigate allegations that Congressman Rubén Kihuen (D-NV) sexually harassed multiple women, including a former campaign staffer. Congressman Kenny Marchant (R-TX) will serve as the Chairman of the subcommittee and Congresswoman Yvette Clarke (D-NY) will be the Ranking Member. Kihuen has said he will not resign but will also not run for re-election in 2018 because, as he said, the allegations and investigation would divert attention away from campaign issues. Congresswoman Jackie Walorski (R-IN) and Congressman Brian Higgins (D-NY) will also serve on the committee. More here.
