The report amounts to just the latest example in a long history of controversy for Conyers dating back decades. Some of that history was well-known -- but some is only emerging now, following a bombshell article last week on sexual misconduct allegations. I very much look forward to vindicating myself and my family before the House Committee on Ethics," Conyers said in a statement Sunday, adding he will step down as ranking member. The Ethics Committee is probing the sexual harassment claims that emerged last week in a BuzzFeed article. The Ethics Committee ultimately closed the investigation after Conyers agreed to clarify work rules with his staff to ensure they were compliant with ethics rules and regulations.
