Ethical Storm Brewing for Congressional Progressive Caucus

FTA:
Serious questions are being raised about the staffing arrangements and organizational structure of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), the largest ideological affinity group in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The CPC also counts as members House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus.
Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) is a CPC member, as are House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and House Committee on Financial Services Chairwoman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.).

At the center of this growing complex, as executive director of the caucus, is Michael Darner, an attorney and veteran Democratic congressional aide who began as a legislative assistant to Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) in 2008 and took the reins of the caucus in 2014.
As executive director of the CPC, Darner is a shared employee who was paid $124,000 in 2018, in regular installments collected each pay period from the official office staffing budgets of caucus members, according to LegiStorm.

“The rule is that NO funds or resources of the House can be spent for ANY outside entity or organization; that is a federal law and a House rule,” attorney Cleta Mitchell told The Epoch Times on April 23.

“So this person cannot use his House computer or office or other resources of his official office to do work for the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC,” said Mitchell, who is a partner in the law firm Foley and Lardner, LLP.
