now what i proposed to you is ethical. is it ethical to smear a justice by doing that?>> you asked me whether the public would consider those to be ethics problems. >> that's not what i asked. you i will reclaim my time if you're not going to answer my question. let me move to mr. schenck. mr. schenck, in a blog post he wrote recently, it says in my 64 plus years i have not only believed a fair number of consequential lies, i've promulgated them. although the chairman said it was unseemly in some way, before the chairman said that, mr. jordan rather devastatingly cross-examined you about a claim you made in your book. so you've proclaimed that you are a liar, or you have been a liar. do you think it's ethical for this committee, for the majority of this committee, to bring in an inveterate? who's whispering in your ear? mr. schenck, who is it whispering in your ear as you testify? >> that is my counsel. >> that your lawyer? so he's advising you while you answer this question? >> yes. >> i just want to know who's whispering in your ear. do you think it's ethical for the

and so the most important thing when it comes to ethics is to get the facts so that the bipartisan ethicsdecisions. and the rules that the republicans adopted are going to make it more difficult for us to do our work. and so i think that it is very important for your viewers to know that because ethics is all about getting to the bottom of what really happened and we'll need that office of congressional ethics do that fact finding first. >> certainly not alone in raising the alarm about that. and let's stay on the rules package that the new congress just adopted. what are your concerns about some of the other provisions that are included like how the debt ceiling will be treated and needing 72 hours to read a bill? these changes that the republicans are putting in place, what are your concerns going forward the next two years? >> well, my biggest concerns are how it is diminishing the ability of the house to do the your reaction to a cousin or so documents founden in president biden's private office. your discovery, what steps should be next? >> well, i'm very heartened that the minute th

there's been a process for this both through the ethics committee and an ethics investigation. when we were -- when republicans were getting attacked in the last congress, i said the same thing. there's a process for this. it can take a few months and probably will. i do have -- based on his record and the lies that have been told over and over and over again consistently, that it will work itself out in the end. hopefully won't take more than a few months. i believe we need to let the process -- there's got to be due process. i have been consistent on that. give the guy due process. i do believe that it will be figured out in the next couple of months through that process. the criminal investigations and/or ethics investigations, that he is very likely facing imminently. >> nancy mace, congresswoman, thank you very much. thanks for handling some difficult issues on all subjects. >>> good news from the buffalo bills. the team is reporting damar hamlin has been discharged from the buffalo medical center. he went into cardiac arrest, of course, and collapsed on the field during b

it was ethics and scrutiny with the party in the house? >>, the house ethics committee, usually, quite tightlipped about investigations, or even the envy existence of an investigation. but, two democrats did formally file an ethics complaint, walking it over to santos's office. they want the house ethics committee to look into his financial disclosure forms, which was raised a lot of questions. several other republicans, have also, called for an ethics investigation. we should point out, the house ethics committee does not like to interfere with ongoing probes at the federal, or state level. also, they can only make disciplinary recommendations. they could send it to the full house, but it would be up to the full house to act on something like censure, or expulsion. so, it remains to be seen what they come up with, if they decide to investigate, but again, it would be up to the full house to do that. >> can you talk about the political calculus that may be involved to not want santos to resign immediately? >> speaker mccarthy said, the rea

although leopold did not invent the land ethic, but he did forward one vision of a land ethic. he wrote the land ethic after living for years in arizona and new mexico, sharing life with his mexican-american wife and children, visiting his mexican-american in-laws homes and sheep ranches. and he and his family were storing an old, dysfunctional farm in wisconsin into a beautiful prairie and pine forest. these are all ends soaked by generations of colonial violence. yet he was still able to miss the connection. how closely did he listen to what the land was saying? this speaks not only to leopold's individual avoidance of colonial history, but is also telling of his social and cultural context that abetted his blindness. how many generations of erasure or helped to set the conditions for leopold and so many others to sound an urgent call on behalf of the environment without also calling just as urgency urgently for abolition and land back. on my first day of the lyon three water walk, i watched the light shift from the gentle dawning of day to the clarity of morning, and then to

are you confident at all that there actually will be an ethics investigation? know what internally means, but the ethics committee is required to investigate members for potentially unethical or illegal behavior. and it's a bipartisan committee that has equal members republican and democrats and non partisan staff. i've heard from several republican, members including one in new york who went public with it, that there is support on the republican side for an ethics committee investigation. and, so i would hope that if republicans do care about members of congress following the laws that we write, that they would also support an ethics committee investigation. >> is that something that a sitting congressman can use campaign funds, to pay for attorneys to defend against, or prepare to for an ethics investigation, do you know? >> i don't actually know, but if you can use campaign funds for attorneys generally, i'd assume that you're able to at least use either campaign funds or some of your member budget, but i'd expect george santos would also want to be coopera

council international experts also participated in the ethical council. all members of the ethical council had a wide enough opportunity to gather information about the candidates, including from open sources and those sources that the public is also used, the relevant public organizations and their representatives, here i am. therefore, i have no reason to question the decision of the ethical council, and the congress was obliged to choose from those 16 that the ethical council actually proposed, of course, it was possible to choose those who did not go to the territory of the occupied crimea and did not privatize official housing in the territory of russia, but they were chosen, that is why the question of an outsider's opinion will always remain and the subject for evaluating the actions of any official or any body always remains mr. dmytro regarding the constitutional e-e court the european commission fully agrees with the recommendations of the venice commission regarding the law numbered 76-62 e-e on constitutional judges expects that ukraine will a

yesterday two democrats filed a formal complaint with the bipartisan house ethics committee. today republican congressman brian fitzpatrick called for the committee to conduct an expedited review of the case while saying his gop colleague did not belong in the house. >> hiss conduct what's egregious. i don't think he should be here but i think the ethics committee should do their work quickly and they should return to the house with their findings then we act. >> one problem is congressman fitzpatrick's boss, kevin mccarthy, is disinclined or seems disinclined to do that to act. >> there is a concern that it has to go through the ethniics. it's not what people pick and choose based on what somebody -- so he will continue to serve. >> he himself has admitted to fabricating parts of his resume. >> and so a lot of people here in the senate and others, but the one thing i think it's the voters who made that decision. he has to answer to the voters and the voters to make another decision in two years. >> now, mccarthy said if there is a concern, which is a little bit like saying a

what we filed this complaint with the ethics committee to look into his finances. there are specific and clear laws governing financial disclosures for candidates for congress. that's why we are pursuing this angle is that his financial disclosures are incredibly suspicious. he had a windfall of several million dollars after being in debt and making almost no money. he gave $700,000 of that windfall to his campaign. very yellow lights all over the place. let's see what is in them. then we will make a determination what the proper recourse should be. >> i have heard in the past, some members of congress who have been investigated by the house ethics committee have spent millions of dollars on attorneys trying to defend themselves and that if they resign, basically they can save themselves the trouble. the investigation would stop. is that the case, that if he was to resign -- if there was a house ethics investigation and he was to resign, would that investigation stop? >> generally speaking, yes, if you are not a member of congress, my understanding is that the ethi

surely it also shows, doesn't it, this advisory post, this ethics post actually has some teeth?he ministerial code that they were. it rishi sunak and the rest of us knew there were breaches of the ministerial code. 0ne there were breaches of the ministerial code. one of the questions the prime minister has to answer is, how much did he know in advance of this in the last couple of weeks, how much did you know when he appointed nadhim zahawi to the cabinet and to the chair of the conservative party? we need an investigation and transparency over what was declared then, why was it, although i wasn't declared then why did rishi sunak make the decision to put nadhim zahawi in cabinet anyway? michael gove has been talking about this this morning and he said there is no information brought to the attention of the prime minister that would have led him to believe at the time it was inappropriate to have nadhim zahawi on his team. why do you think there may be something we don't yet know? i you think there may be something we don't yet know?— don't yet know? i mean, you are askin: don't

the ethical council dealt with this issue.the documents that confirm the legality of the mother's receipt of money, this money was borrowed from the father, also the newly elected a member of the supreme council of justice was repeatedly noticed in the most likely manipulations with the value of his property in the declaration for 2017 as a candidate for the post of judge of the supreme court burlakov indicated in his ownership, the corporate rights of three enterprises, the value of only one of them reached over a hundred hryvnias , however, as required by the law, after being appointed to the position, burlakov got rid of them, he assures for 500,000 and 5,000 hryvnias, that is , he gave the practical one for nothing, it is difficult to believe in this, it looks like another attempt to hide the real wealth of a the judge also receives very valuable gifts in 2018 the newly elected member of the people's party of ukraine was presented with an antique book parents and children of the judicial reform of 1914 and a painting by th

therefore, these are also the questions that the ethical council should have asked him.be also explain the wealth of the burlakov family, which does not match the official income, for example, the mother of the judge in 2018 was able to purchase an apartment with an area of ​​almost 40 m² in boryspil, kyiv region, having as of 2017 an income of uah 29,000 and another uah 217 in savings serhiy burlakov forgot to indicate the price of this apartment to his mother, however, we are sure that the real estate was definitely more expensive than uah 29,000. very often it is judge bosch. the apartment is also not declared by burlakov, the value of a plot of land with an area of ​​more than 1,000 m² in ukhar in the kharkiv region and more than 60,000 square meters in the kirovohrad region, which his wife purchased earlier, there are huge questions about where the money came from to buy this real estate. and how this acquisition is explained by serhiy burlakov himself, the ethical council was looking into this issue, i provided all the documents that confirm the legality of the mot

and how this acquisition is explained by himself serhiy burlakov was dealt with by the ethical councild all the documents that confirm the legality of the mother's retention of money, this money was borrowed from the father, also the newly elected member of the supreme council of justice was repeatedly noticed in the most likely manipulations with the value of his property in the declaration for 2017 as a candidate for the position of judge of the supreme court burlakov indicated that he owned the corporate rights of the enterprises , the value of only one of which amounted to more than one hundred thousand hryvnias, however, at the request of the law , after being appointed to the position, burlakov got rid of he assures them for 500,000 and 5,000 hryvnias, that is, he gave it almost for nothing . it is hard to believe that it looks like another attempt to hide real wealth. and the judge also receives very valuable gifts . artist valentina samoyla kartyushchenko, boats near the pier, according to experts, burlakov is considered a creature of boris gulka, the head of the civil court of

the ethics committee, and it would be my hope that the ethics committee would take that up and the republicans would support that. i think what the republicans want is some kind of a official proceeding here that laid out what he did. we know he lied. we know he's a despicable person. we know he's kind of a cha charlatan, but a lot of people are looking for, did this guy break actual laws? so if he did, and it's proven that he did or the ethics committee finds that he probably did, then all of a sudden, you can make the case for taking the next steps. short of that, the people who will deal with it next are the voters who now know everything they need to know about this person to turn him out of congress. that happens at a minimum, but it strikes me that given state and federal investigations going, probably an ethics committee investigation going, we'll find out what george santos did, and congress will have all it needs to get rid of him. >> there are about a half dozen or so new york republican congressmen who are saying we don't need to wait for the ethics investigation knowing that he's l

the ethics of the congress.gnal does that send? it says you're not serious. it says within your own ranks there's rot and problems. i give you george santos, just the tip of that iceberg. so there's a lot going on here. this is all about retribution politics. there's nothing substantive that's going to come out of this. poor garrett, that's all i can say. poor garrett. >> yeah, you got an eyebrow raise from him there, michael. since you mentioned this ethics change, let's talk about that. another one of those house rules that you just outlined create eight-year term limits for members of the office of congressional ethics. essentially it would have the effect of removing all but one democrat from the board at a time when it's considering whether to launch an inquiry into certain republican congressmen over their conduct related to january 6th. you mentioned george santos here. what do the changes essentially signal here to the electorate about holding their own accountable? >> they're not. they're not. i mean, w

why wouldn't the ethics committee of the already taking action?>> while -- the ethics committee to book a response to complaints. and by delivering these kinds of complaint directly to congress, hoping to elevate the priority, but it's worth noting that the republicans had defunded the office of congressional ethics at a time where joy statuses and the congress with an ethical cloud over him. so the ethics committee is the best hope of holding doritos accountable. i'm expecting no accountability to come from the republicans. i mean, the republicans know that your status was a fraud, and did nothing! at least stefanik, not enthusiastically endorsed, but support it in a $200,000 -- and ever since these lies that have come to light, she has been conspicuously silent. the message from the leadership is that we are handling it internally which is code for not handling it at all. >> so kevin mccarthy is saying, everybody does it, i guess he means everyone he knows who's -- who is the truth biographer he really knows, does it. so he's embracing the notio

the government's independent ethics advisor has been asked to look into mr zahawi's financial affairsalty to hmrc over previously unpaid tax while he was chancellor. he maintains he acted properly. earlier i spoke to our chief political correspondent nick eardley about the situation about the continuing issues around mr zahawi's party chairmanship. those questions have continued to government ministers this morning who have said we need to let the investigation from the ethics adviser play out before we get the feel of the answers, but i get the impression speaking to some conservative mps that they are uncomfortable about the situation, about the cloud hanging over the party chairman, about the impact it has on the government, and a fear it might undermine some of rishi sunak�*s attempts to move on from some of the scandals of the past few years. you will remember you would have heard us talk about the promise for integrity, professionalism and accountability, and this morning on bbc breakfast one conservative mp, caroline nokes, said nadhim zahawi should stand aside during the probe

host: will ethics get involved in investigating him? the ethics committee? guest: very likely. here is the challenge with the ethics committee, they can only investigate sitting members of congress when infractions happened during the course of their service. i think there might be a question of, if he lied in the past about a campaign, is that something you can investigate in the ethics committee? it is an open question, but i am sure democrats and other rivals will try to file ethics complaints against him. that can happen and very likely will happen. host: scott wong is with us about the opening of congress, voting on's rules package. he is within bc news. lets hear from chris in florida. caller: how are you doing, scott? i think reporters are not doing their job properly. if you agree with me or socrates, ignorance is evil, we've got a lot of people who do not understand how congress work . a gentleman called in earlier about changing the rules to have one person vacate. you said it has been that way for a long time. yeah, andrew james did with nancy palouse he -- palouse.

we need ethics in government at all levels. need to take your job seriously that does not mean everything that come before suequal low serious. today i realliment to brunning us back to something the reasonable person test. the upon reasonable % is confounded if they look at the facts of when we are talking about. deb emwent to a community upon dinner this -- was about engaging community. i did the job that debbie did you have to go to community events the community upon sponsor gave her a declaration of how much that dinner cost. she put that on her forms it turned out that rather than 25 dlrs it was 50 and 60 but can not know that there is no reason she should than if we prepondered every form 700 timetory dot math of what the actual cost was divided by people for every upon event you went to you would bar anyone from taking a job in san francisco. i would never do that the person you want your next directorer nod the the bar of uponent row what it means to participate in this work is important. to realize today. we have an o

congressman, i'll get to your request for the ethics investigation.let me read what congressman santos said on twitter. i was elected to serve the people of new york's 3rd. i remain committed to sdoing tht and regret to hear that local officials refuse to deal with my office to get results. i will not resign. steve scalise says the conference is going to handle this internally. i know you want him out. do you think he'll be able to survive this? >> well, i don't know if he'll be able to survivor not. i think the issue is whether the republican party is going to stand up to him and to say that we'll not have a self-avowed fraudster in our party or will they continue to wrap their arms around him. the fact of the matter is his lies deceived the voters. when he says on twitter i was selected by the voters, that is correct, but through deception and fraud. that's the problem. i'm very proud and happy to see that republican party chairs and other members of congress are also calling for him to resign because this should not be a partisan issue. this is sim

is that a concern >> to separate ethics committee's.ne that they hamstrung is the more independent ethics committee. i'm sure it is a coincidence that they did that. justice santos was being up for investigation. there is the house ethics committee. which is made up of an equal number of these, and ours. they look at this. it is very tough to get something through the house ethics committee. but when it is egregious, particularly if there issues a possible criminalize on official forms. they will act. it is a multiple sided headaches for santos, for mccarthy, and for the caucus. >> eva, you have the talent of all these headaches? what is going on? >> i think the persistence of some of these lies troublesome. we told that the volleyball story over, and over, and over again. i think what is being missed in this conversation though. is he organizing strength within the district. there are some pretty vocal members out there, on long island, who are holding strategy meetings. who are really holding the other long island republicans speak to

one of your roles in the white house was to become the ethics sare. i study the reforms in the obama administration in this area. there was not a single scandal in eight years in the obama administration related to lobbying and ethics. why do you think that's the case? mr. bauer: outstanding lawyering. [laughter] oh, when i'm going to say is going to sound like a kind of rank peace flattery of the president, and it is not. i think in any organization, nixon administration, for example. what really matters is we develop management of the ethical culture and it starts with the leadership. it is an anything goes environment or a push the limits environment. you can get favor with the boss by being too clever. there are infractions that are overlooked because those engaged in inflections are rendering other valuable services and weighing it against it, yes, so-and-so is tediously unethical, but, boy, what a speechwriter. if you have a leadership that just decides that the unethical staffer doesn't belong there, and people know there is a consequence for s

that's outrageous. >> reporter: even so, government ethics experts say the bidens' ethical challengesp. >> one of the differences is that trump himself personally was corrupt. and certainly did enrich himself through the use of government power. >> reporter: even the republican congressman leading the biden investigation raises concerns about trump's dealings while president. >> you believe there should have been more transparency with trump and his family members in the business that they may have been doing overseas? >> i do. i absolutely do. >> reporter: comer wants to introduce bipartisan legislation to tighten ethics laws, the committee's first priority is the bidens. and it is important to note there is no proof the president has done anything illegal. we sent the white house a list of questions, including whether the president stands by his statement that he never discussed his relatives' businesses with them. and in response, the white house sent us this statement, the president has pledged to restore ethics to the white house and has established the most rigorous ethics guide

i'm a professor of medical ethics at the university of pennsylvania. and i run a research lab that studies the ethical, legal, and social implications. busy advances in neuroscience. all right, so i guess i think the biggest challenge is separating ourself from science, fat and science fiction. we have watch the movies where the side books take over sandy has a brain implant impacting their head and then they go wild at everything goes upside down and it's chaotic. this is not what we're talking about. what we're talking about is brain computer interface or b, c. i, karen, briefly in an accessible way. what does that mean? great. thanks for asking the brain computer interface is really a communication device that connects the brain to an external computer. and there's 2 ways that that communication can happen. so one way is that the computer can fence electrical activity and send that to a prosthetic device. so in the example you gave, someone could drink a beer, who otherwise would be able to, or the device can work the other way, where it can said si

now they'll try to do the same thing for waiting for the ethics investigation— you don't need an ethics nadhim zahawi did not pay the taxes he should have done, that's now undisputed fact. he lied about it, that's a breach of the minister will code. he threatened people who are making the allegations against him with very expensive libel lawyers — i would say that's a breach of the ministerial code, as well. �* , , ., , well. but surely all this will come out from the _ well. but surely all this will come out from the ethics _ well. but surely all this will come j out from the ethics investigation, if what you say is true, surely that will be the result and there can be consequences. but why shouldn't there be an investigation, what's there be an investigation, what's the point of having an ethics adviser if he isn't allowed to investigate this kind of think was yellow he can investigate all he wants, but i'm saying to you is there are facts already established which any prime minister who was intent and serious about upholding the standards of professionalism and accountability doesn't

he will go before ethics.d to be wrong, he will be held accountable exactly as anybody else in this body would be. >> reporter: if santos resigned, he'd vacate a district president biden won by eight points, given democrats a chance to cut into mccarthy's razor-thin majority. >> is this someone you truft to have access to the nation's sec secrets? >> i think we'll still keep looking at this and get the facts. >> reporter: santos also faced questions about $700,000 of money he put into his campaign. he's faced a complaint from a group that is asking the federal election commission to look into the matter. he was asked about that today by congressman matt gaetz on a progress. he'll tell you where it didn't come from, not from china or ukraine. he didn't divulge the source of the campaign cash as he's faced questions and an investigation into those campaign finance disclose yours as the scrutiny intensifies on him and everything he did in the run-up to the campaign. >> manu raju on capitol hill, thanks very much.

the ethics committee process.t's just -- that's just, you know -- that's just a kick of the can down the road or punt, whatever you want to say, because the ethics committee is in the going to come out tomorrow and say this guy is a fraud and shouldn't be here anymore and wouldn't say that anymore and if you want to expel him from the body you need a two-thirds majority. the reality is unless he's indicted and the ftx investigating is even, you know, less useful because they will take ten years and then they will just slap him on the wrist with a $50 fine so the real action-forcing mechanism here is the department of justice or local prosecutors bringing -- charging him with something. until then, as long as he has a threshold for pain and embarrassment, he will be able to stay in this body when adding one more thing, nicole. i do think all of these republicans that are coming out against him in new york are doing so with the tacit okay from the leadership in order to preserve their own standing back home. i don't

the constitution the voters elected him to serve if there is a concern, they have to go through the ethicse'll go through that. >> reporter: on tuesday, two new york democrats referred santos to the house ethics committee >> george santos needs to be held accountable for his lies. >> a bipartisan ethics investigation embraced by some santos' republican colleagues. >> i wouldn't seat him on any committees until we have a fuller understanding, until the ethics committee has a fuller understanding of what he did >> reporter: if santos were to resign, his replacement would be chosen in a special election, a lengthy process that could cost republicans a vote they can't afford to lose in this narrow majority lester >> garret haake, thank you. >>> there is encouraging news about damar hamlin, the buffalo bills announcing he has been discharged from a buffalo hospital and will continue his rehabilitation at home and with the team. the 24-year-old suffered cardiac arrest on the field nine days ago. he was transferred from a hospital in cincinnati to the buffalo facility on monday >>> northern calif

, i will continue to beat the drums on issues of ethics and strengthening ethics requirement and this is a piece of that conversation that we continue to grow, lament and excitement over, the american people wanted to thank you to anybody who was watching who believes in this legislation and has advocated with their members of congress. >> you are always allowed to play those drums at this hour. i want to talk about what else the gop is doing this week, we have seen votes on the ire as and abortion. these bills are going nowhere, and none of these moves actually help the american people, what do you think the end goal is here? >> it's all messaging, let's talk about that irs vote, right it's based on a fallacy of who it is that would be hired with additional funding to the irs and the answer is people who answer the phone when a widow or widower calls because they can't get their iris paperwork filed properly upon the death of their loved ones. it is a small business owner who is waiting for their tax return who can't get someone on the phone, it is a wage earner who files on time exc

it was not only ethical, it appears to be highly illegal. you have what looks to me like criminal liability. i think speaker mccarthy needs to talk about what he thinks about george santos and really put him up for condemnation or an expulsion vote from this congress. mr. aguilar: one last point on that. if george santos wasn't seated, i might be giving another nominating speech. [laughter] we could still be going at this. garrett and then lee anne. >> [indiscernible] mr. aguilar: absolutely. reporter: leader mccarthy reiterated his desire to not see schiff or swalwell on the select committee on intel should their names be put forth. is it the caucus' intention to put their names forward and what happens if mccarthy calls on that -- [indiscernible] -- mr. aguilar: steering for leader jeffries as well as steering and policy committees. the steering and policy will meet, one we have the ratios, in negotiation with the majority, we'll have those ratios. we'll populate those committees and send the names of the individuals who this caucus suppor
