“The respected House Ethics Committee — made up of Democrats and Republicans — investigated this matter thoroughly and has now unanimously confirmed what I’ve always maintained: that my campaign acted ethically and that these baseless accusations were just politics. Serving the people of the Third Congressional District continues to be the greatest honor of my life, and I will continue to focus on addressing the needs of the people I represent,” Trahan said in a statement Thursday after the release of the report.
The committee did raise concerns about money from David Trahan’s funds that was subsequently reported as a series of personal loans from the joint checking account the couple share. On two occasions, Trahan dated the checks on the last day of the fundraising quarter and reported them to the FEC as personal loans obtained on that date.
In those two instances, the joint checking account had insufficient funds to cover the amounts and shortly after the date appearing on the checks, David Trahan transferred money into the joint checking account.
The committee wrote that the dates of receipt and deposit of the funds raise questions about whether the candidate intentionally reported the loans ahead of the transfers with the goal of increasing her cash-on-hand numbers at the close of the quarterly reporting periods, a major benchmark of the health of a campaign.
“Even though such conduct may be permissible under FEC regulations, the Committee cautions Representative Trahan that, as a Member of the House, she is expected to act in a manner that reflects creditably upon the House and should ensure accuracy and transparency in her campaign activities,” the committee wrote.
