Ever since political opponents started making false accusations about my mortgages, I've said that Jackie and I did nothing wrong.
Today, I'm pleased to report that the Senate Ethics Committee has agreed, officially clearing me of any wrongdoing.
Here is a portion of the statement that I gave to reporters this afternoon. I hope you'll read it and share with other supporters.
After a year-long investigation in which it deposed witnesses and pored over 18,000 pages of documents, the bipartisan Ethics Committee has concluded that we violated no rules when refinancing our mortgages. There was no "sweetheart" or special deal; the allegations are and have always been false.
...
I hope that today's dismissal will go a long way towards restoring the bond of trust and confidence that I've worked long and hard to build with the people of our state. I want you to know it's a relationship I have never, and would never, take for granted.
And now that the facts have been aired and the lessons learned, it's time to move on. I'm going to continue fighting for you - humbled, wiser, and always proud to serve the people of Connecticut.
I'm looking forward to continuing my fight on behalf of the people of Connecticut - and to a campaign based on real issues, not political smears.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your support - and I hope I can continue to count on it going forward.
Sincerely,
Chris Dodd
