Virginia congressman under investigation in the House

Congressional investigators want to know whether Rep. Thomas Garrett (R-Va.) asked staff members to do personal errands for him or his family and whether his use of alcohol interfered with his official duties, according to letters to former staff members.
The questions are at the heart of confidential investigations by the House Ethics Committee and the Office of Congressional Ethics of Garrett, a first-term congressman representing Charlottesville, inquiries sent in the past week show.
Garrett has not taken a drink in the nearly two months since he announced his struggle with alcoholism andthat he would not seek reelection, Bill Janis, his newly hired chief of staff, said Tuesday. He said Garrett has been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
“Precisely because he was in the public eye and running for public office, he couldn’t admit he was an alcoholic and seek help,” Janis said. “He’s firing on a lot more cylinders now that he’s clean and sober.”

What is with politicians making aides do random shit for them. Pruitt made his aides get him lotion and mattresses, and the last congressman to be expelled made his aides work on his farm.

Making them do bitch work makes republican congressmen feel more powerful because they know an individual senator has more power than them
