New filings point to widening House ethics investigation of Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles, watchdog says (www.newschannel5.com)

That investigation first exposed Ogles' misrepresentations about his educational and professional credentials, later raising questions about the thousands of dollars he raised for a children's burial garden that was never built.

All of which led to questions we uncovered about the $320,000 that Ogles reported having personally loaned his campaign back in 2022 — even though Ogles' personal financial disclosures did not reveal him having that kind of money.

Last week, the House Ethics Committee released the report where the Office of Congressional Ethics had investigated and concluded in August that "Rep. Ogles Reported Loaning His Campaign $320,000 — But He Never Loaned His Campaign That Amount."

The preliminary report indicates that Ogles refused to cooperate with the investigation, as did a number of close associates, and it recommended that they be subpoenaed and forced to testify or provide relevant records to the committee.
