The Massachusetts House Committee on Ethics will investigate Democratic Cape Representative Christopher Flanagan after the conclusion of the criminal case against him.
Federal prosecutors claim Flanagan orchestrated a multi-faceted scheme that defrauded the Home Builders Association out of tens-of-thousands-of dollars that he used for personal and political expenses. He has pleaded not guilty.
Representative Kate Lipper-Garabedian says the committee will wait for the judicial process to play out to avoid any possible disruption or obstruction to the criminal proceedings.
