DescriptionWASHINGTON — After a case against U.S. Rep. Frank Lucas was recommended for dismissal, Rep. Dan Boren said Thursday the Office of Congressional Ethics may need to be eliminated for pursuing investigations without merit.

"There are multiple members who have been unfairly accused of wrongdoing, that have been publicly accused of wrongdoing, that have done nothing wrong,” the Oklahoma Democrat said.
In 2008, Boren was the only member of the Oklahoma delegation to vote for creating the office, which was designed to bring greater accountability and transparency to the ethics process in the House.
