Associated Press report says House Ethics Committee may investigate NE Iowa Congressman Rod Blum's business dealings

Posted: Wed, Feb 21, 2018 2:37 PM

The Associated Press is reporting that US Congressman Rod Blum from Dubuque faces possible ethics charges for failing to disclose his financial stake in an Internet marketing company.

Blum was one of two directors of the Tin Moon Corp. in the summer of 2016, according to Associated Press.  Tin Moon helped companies cited for federal food and drug safety violations bury their Food and Drug Administration warning letters below positive internet search results, among other tasks, according to AP.

Said one ethics expert, "There is no gray (area) here. He just can't do what he's doing. We were just laughing about it because it's so ridiculous."
