OCE Referral Regarding Rep. Tom Malinowski

OCE Referral Regarding Rep. Tom Malinowski Exhibits

On July 23, 2021, the Office of Congressional Ethics transmitted a referral to the Committee on Ethics of the United States House of Representatives regarding Rep. Tom Malinowski. 

Nature of the Review

Rep. Malinowski did not file Periodic Transaction Reports (PTRs) for stock transactions he made between 2019 and 2020. If Rep. Malinowski failed to properly disclose stocks that he purchased or sold or failed to properly file PTRs for any of the stock transactions he made, then he may have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law.

OCE Recommendation

The Board recommended that the Committee further review the above allegation concerning Rep. Malinowski because there is substantial reason to believe that he failed to properly disclose stocks that he purchased or sold or failed to properly file PTRs for any of the stock transactions he made.

Committee Action

On October 21, 2021, the Committee on Ethics released a statement indicating it would continue to gather information necessary to complete its review. The Committee published the OCE report and findings and announced the allegations would be further reviewed pursuant to Committee Rule 18(a).
