WASHINGTON (AP) — A congressional ethics panel says there is substantial reason to believe Rep. Vern Buchanan of Florida tried to get a business partner to lie to the Federal Election Commission.The independent Office of Congressional Ethics transmitted its findings in January to the House Ethics Committee. The ethics committee said Wednesday it is continuing its investigation of the Republican lawmaker, but released the independent report in accordance with House rules.The report said the partner knew that contributors to the Florida Republican were reimbursed from 2005 to 2007. The panel said Buchanan attempted to persuade the partner to falsely deny to the FEC that reimbursements were made.Buchanan's attorney told the Office of Congressional Ethics the allegations are false.The report said Buchanan may have violated federal law and House rules.
