Congressman Louie Gohmert of Tyler is being accused of using campaign funds to pay for a trip to England, which is a violation of House ethics rules. 

The legal watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics.

The group says he used campaign fund to pay for a trip to England last fall unrelated to any campaign activities.

Gohmert's Communications director Kimberly Willingham denies that official funds were used.

CREW says Gohmert's legendary tirades may put him in high demand for public speaking engagements, but that doesn't give him license to fill a luxury London vacation to his campaign.

The report says the England expenses included almost $6,000 in hotel stays and a $234 taxi ride.
