Is the GOP House working for the Trump campaign?

Before they go any further in their vendetta against President Joe Biden, Republicans in the House of Representatives should answer two questions. Are they violating ethics rules by using government resources to campaign for former President Donald Trump? And are their oversight committees crossing the line into illegal defamation of Biden or his family?

Regarding the first question, House ethics rules say the body’s official resources “may not be used for campaign or political purposes.” This applies not only to each member’s own election campaigns but also to helping the campaigns of others. According to the House Ethics Manual: “the prohibition applies to, for example, campaigns for the presidency, the U.S. Senate, or a state or local office, and it applies to such campaigns whether the Member is a candidate or is merely seeking to support or assist (or oppose) a candidate in such a campaign.”
