The Michigan Democratic Party chairman is confident that law enforcement will uncover the truth after one socially conservative Michigan lawmaker was expelled from office and another resigned over their bungled attempts to conceal an extramarital affair.
Brandon Dillon said in a statement Friday that he commends Democrats in the state House "who stayed true to their convictions that Michigan taxpayers deserve a real, independent investigation."

Rep. Todd Courser announced his resignation during an overnight session in the House over whether he and fellow GOP Rep. Cindy Gamrat should stay in their jobs. Gamrat was expelled an hour after Courser's resignation.
The full chamber was deadlocked for hours as more than two dozen minority Democrats refused to vote saying a House committee investigation had been rushed.
