NEW ORLEANS (AP) – It’s unclear when voters will know whether anything other than publicity was generated by a complaint filed against U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., with a state office that disciplines lawyers.
Louisiana’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel is prohibited from saying anything about a complaint until – and unless – an investigation leads to formal charges. The case could take months or years to resolve, says Dane Ciolino, a Loyola law professor who tracks such cases.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington says it filed a complaint Tuesday stemming from the appearance of Vitter’s phone number in records of a prostitution ring. His office says the complaint is an attempt to draw attention from Democrats’ ties to the controversial ACORN organization.
