House Speaker Kyle Hilbert, RBristow, made the following statement regarding investigations into the office of Rep. Ajay Pittman, DOklahoma City: 'Yesterday, the Attorney General’s Office confirmed an investigation into serious allegations involving Rep. Pittman. While that investigation remains ongoing, the recent findings from the Ethics Commission make it inappropriate for her to continue serving in a role overseeing State-Tribal relations. Therefore, I have removed Rep. Pittman from the State-Tribal Relations Committee, effective immediately.'
House Democratic Leader Cyndi Munson, D-Oklahoma City, released the following statement after a sealed warrant was served and the Oklahoma Ethics Commission filed a lawsuit against Rep. Ajay Pittman, D-Oklahoma City, for alleged breach of contract including fraud and misrepresentation.
“The allegations about Rep. Ajay Pittman are serious and should be taken seriously. Regardless of party or elected position, not one of us is above the law. As this investigation continues, I encourage Rep. Pittman to cooperate with law enforcement.
