Georgia Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Collins and his chief of staff are under investigation by the House Ethics Committee, though the panel didn’t detail Friday why it’s looking into their actions.

The brief press release said the committee will “announce its course of action in this matter on or before” Jan. 5 and that an investigation “does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred, or reflect any judgment on behalf of the Committee.”
