CLC Complaint to OCC Against 19 Members of Congress

CLC asked the Office of Congressional Conduct to investigate whether 19 representatives violated House rules prohibiting the acceptance of campaign contributions linked to official actions. Specifically, Elon Musk donated $6,600 to 18 lawmakers and $5,800 to one lawmaker in connection with their official actions limiting the power of and impeaching federal judges. The timing and recipients of these contributions, as well as Musk’s public statements, strongly suggest that these political donations were given to reward or incentivize lawmakers’ official actions.
