Investigators with the Office of Congressional Ethics found that a substantial donation from Trahan's husband, $300,000, was intentionally misreported. Today, the congressman said she was confident she would be cleared in the end. I've communicated to my constituents it's the reason why I wrote the Medium post in November explaining exactly what happened in terms of the joint resources between my husband and me. And I'm completely confident that once the ethics looks into this inquiry, that they're going to rule positively in our favor. Trahan won the race in 2018 by 145 votes after a recount. (00:30–00:43)
