Christopher Ward, reportedly at the center of a federal investigation into financial irregularities during his time as treasurer of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), resigned from the consulting firm Political Compliance Services Inc. (PCS) “as of Jan. 31.” PCS has lost a number of clients since the investigation was first made public last week. Meanwhile, NRCC Chairman Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK), sought to reassure a meeting of the House Republican Conference yesterday that allegations against Ward “are not problems that will keep us from competing in the fall.” (Roll Call, The Hill)
