FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:MALONEY BUSTED AGAIN HIRING HOUSEHOLD STAFF WITH TAX DOLLARS.

 

Lawler Campaign Calls for Investigation as Multi-Millionaire Maloney Caught Funding Personal Staff With Taxpayer Dollars a Second Time.

NY-17-Oct. 4…Multi-millionaire congressman Sean Maloney must be formally investigated over what are now two separate allegations of him paying personal household staff with taxpayer and political donor dollars, the campaign of congressional candidate Mike Lawler today demanded. 

The latest incident involves the congressman paying his spouse’s personal trainer $7,000 in public funds to act as a driver. Just months ago, Rep. Maloney was exposed for having used taxpayer and donor dollars to relocate a Florida man to Maloney’s personal residence. That individual, who registered to vote out of Mr. Maloney’s home, was nebulously designated by Maloney as a “body man.”

“While his constituents are pinching pennies to pay the crushing cost of household items, multi-millionaire congressman Sean Maloney is living large off the taxpayer dime,” said Lawler campaign spokesman Bill O’Reilly. “When he’s not jet setting to Paris and London, as he did last weekend, courtesy of fat cat political donors, Mr. Maloney’s on the political cocktail circuit, while real people are hard at work. Not only is Mr. Maloney hopelessly out of touch with the average New York family, he may very well have broken the law by squandering their money. Ask former State Comptroller Alan Hevesi about that. We call on the U.S. Justice Department to launch an immediate investigation.”
