House Republicans drop plans to curtail power of ethics office
House Republicans dropped plans Tuesday to place the independent Office of Congressional Ethics under the oversight of lawmakers, following an outpouring of criticism including from President-elect Donald Trump. The House of Representatives was due to vote on the change later Tuesday. Earlier Tuesday, Trump questioned why Republicans were making the change their "number one act and priority" and said tax reform and health care were more important.
