Brandon Phillips, a congressional aide to Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), was accused of punching a man in the face. Collins and Phillips were both facing a House ethics investigation for unrelated controversies.
A video obtained by Daily Mail correspondent Jon Michael Raasch appears to show Phillips attacking a man at a Washington, D.C. bar.
It was not immediately clear when the video was recorded.
In a report released earlier this week, the Office of Congressional Conduct concluded that there was enough evidence to investigate Phillips after he allegedly used taxpayer funds to pay his girlfriend to do work for the congressman. The report did not find evidence that the woman completed any of the work she was paid for.
“The OCC received multiple submissions of information alleging that an individual paid by Rep. Collins’s office as a district intern did no work for the member’s district office,” the report noted.
Phillips faced battery and felony charges in 2008, as well as an animal cruelty charge in 2022.
