Rep. Gregory Meeks is the subject of a congressional ethics probe centered on his financial-disclosure forms, which have been rife with omissions, The Post has learned.
The investigation by the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct is ongoing even as the panel’s leadership changed with the new Congress, a source told The Post.
The lapses in the Queens Democrat’s annual financial filings include his failure to reveal at least one of his wife’s sources of income — a teaching job at Queens College, The Post has learned.
Simone-Marie Meeks earned $2,857 in 2008 as an adjunct at the school, state records show.
Meeks’ wife is also the principal of the Lipscomb Lord Group, which she set up in 1999 to do public relations, event planning and advocacy work. Meeks never disclosed the existence of the company.
The US Attorney’s Office began investigating Meeks a year ago after The Post revealed the questionable finances of a charity he helped to start with state Sen. Malcolm Smith.
