Panel extends Broun investigation

The House Ethics Committee will extend its investigation into retiring Rep. Paul Broun for alleged improper hiring of a consultant to advise him on his congressional work. The ethics panel, which polices members of the House, is looking into a complaint that originated with the Office of Congressional Ethics, an independent watchdog, that alleged Broun hired O'Donnell and Associates, a communications consultant, in apparent violation of the law and House rules.
