Mr. Deutch, from the Committee on Ethics,
submitted the following
R E P O R T
In accordance with Rule 18(e)(2) of the Committee on Ethics
(Committee), the Committee hereby submits the following Report
to the House of Representatives:
I. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
On July 28, 2021, the Committee convened for the purpose of
considering the July 22, 2021, arrest of Representative Hank
Johnson, for Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding, during a
protest outside a Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C.
Representative Johnson was released following his arrest.
Representative Johnson informed the Committee he paid a $50
fine prior to his release. The legal proceedings related to his
arrest are expected to be resolved with no further action.
The Committee voted against impanelling an investigative
subcommittee in this matter. The Committee considered the scope
and nature of the conduct described above and determined that
review by an investigative subcommittee is not required in this
matter.
The Committee has determined to take no further action in
this matter, and upon publication of this Report, considers the
matter closed.
II. STATEMENT UNDER HOUSE RULE XIII, CLAUSE 3(C)
The Committee made no special oversight findings in this
Report. No budget statement is submitted. No funding is
authorized by any measure in this Report.
