The former counsel to the chair of the House ethics committee, who was admonished by the panel for leaking confidential information during a review of Caribbean junkets, is still working in a high-level congressional job as chief of staff for a Democratic representative.
The admonishment of Dawn Kelly Mobley, now top aide to Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH), came in the report that found Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) improperly took corporate-funded junkets to a pair of Caribbean business conferences run by a group called the Carib News Foundation.

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY)
The ethics committee's official report admonishing Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), released late last night, concludes that Rangel's staff knew that two Caribbean junkets were paid for by corporations, in violation of House rules.
In another development, the committee is referring to the Justice Department the matter of three employees of Carib News -- which sponsored the trips -- who allegedly submitted false information to the committee during pre-travel review for the trips in question.
