"Congressman Fattah could be the first lawmaker to be deprived of his pension under ethics laws that were enacted in 2007 and 2012," said Pete Sepp, president of the National Taxpayers Union.

It's viewed as an unprecedented divorce that could take decades to complete. The decision caps a bitterly divisive referendum campaign, toppling the government Friday, sending... Read More |
