(CNN) The House Ethics Committee released updates on their investigations into four lawmakers on Thursday, including a high-profile freshman Democratic lawmaker and a Republican lawmaker who they revealed is under investigation by the Department of Justice. The committee has been investigating these lawmakers and announced on Thursday that it was extending its investigations into each of them. The committee noted "that the mere fact" of assessing each case "does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred." The office recommended that the committee subpoena Tlaib and three of her campaign staffers who did not cooperate. According to the Office of Congressional Ethics report , Spano "may have received improper loans to support his election to the House of Representatives" that "may have exceeded federal campaign contribution limits."
