WASHINGTON — Rep. Rob Andrews (D-N.J.) will resign his seat Tuesday, a source familiar with the situation told The Huffington Post. The congressman will hold a press conference at 11:30 to make the announcement.
The Philadelphia Inquirer first reported that Andrews was leaving to take a job at a Philadelphia law firm.
Andrews is the subject of a House Ethics Committee investigation over whether he improperly spent campaign cash to pay for personal trips to Scotland and Los Angeles, and over allegations that he used a graduation party for his daughter to raise funds. His legal bills have risen as a result of the investigation.
A resignation would likely end the ethics investigation against him.
Andrews has been in Congress since winning a seat in a 1990 special election.
