“It has come to the attention of the Federal Election Commission that you may have failed to include the true, correct, or complete treasurer information,” the FEC wrote in a letter to Datwyler last week. The FEC added that “knowingly and willfully making any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation to a federal government agency, including the Federal Election Commission, is punishable” under federal law before asking the campaign to clarify who its treasurer is.
He told fellow GOP lawmakers that he would “temporarily recuse” himself from the House Science, Space and Technology Committee and Small Business Committee because of the “ongoing attention surrounding both my personal and campaign financial investigations.”
