CREW Releases Report Revealing Rep. Rohrabacher Abused His Position to Benefit Family Members

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) released its new report, Family Affair, detailing how members of the House of Representatives use their positions to financially benefit their families. In the case of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), the congressman from Orange County used campaign funds to pay his wife, Rhonda Rohrabacher, more than $160,000 in salary over the 2008 and 2010 election cycles. The Rohrabacher family also pocketed more than $72,000 in expense reimbursements from the congressman’s campaign committee during the same time frame.
