Lawmaker awarded CBC scholarship money to relatives - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room

Lawmaker awarded CBC scholarship money to relatives - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room: "Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas) admitted to awarding thousands of dollars in scholarships to four relatives and a top aide's two children in violation of rules set by the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which provided the funds.

The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday that the recipients were ineligible for the scholarships due to the CBC Foundation's anti-nepotism rules as well as a requirement they live in the district of the member that awarded them the scholarships."
