After a thorough investigation and comprehensive review of the facts, the bipartisan Senate Ethics Committee has dismissed the complaint against Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) and determined that he and his wife Jackie did not violate ethics rules when refinancing their home mortgages in 2003.
In a letter sent to Senator Dodd today, the Committee wrote that after deposing witnesses and poring over more 18,000 pages of documents in a year-long investigation, it found “no substantial credible evidence as required by Committee rules that your Countrywide mortgages violated Senate ethics rules.”
