Probe finds misuse of resources by 2 Michigan lawmakers

An investigation into two Michigan Republican lawmakers who had an affair has found misconduct and misuse of taxpayer resources.
 

Such a finding could lead to expulsion from the Michigan House.
 
House Business Office Director Tim Bowlin said Monday in a release that a draft on the preliminary findings involving Reps. Todd Courser and Cindy Gamrat was submitted to outside counsel for review.
 

The investigation looked at whether public resources were used to try and cover up the affair.
 
Courser has admitted to orchestrating a fictional email in May that said he was caught with a male prostitute to divert attention if the affair was revealed.
 

Gamrat and Courser have said they didn't misuse resources and wouldn't resign. Gamrat said Monday in a statement that she hasn't ruled out any options.
