Federal ethics officer drank heavily and 'went to strip clubs' while on duty, watchdog says

A federal ethics officer retired from his post after a watchdog report found he drank heavily and visited strip clubs while on duty.

An inspector general report released Friday found that Michael McKenna, the general counsel and ethics officer for the National Credit Union Administration, and his deputy Lara Daly-Sims allegedly violated multiple statutes and federal ethics rules while on the job, including illegal drug use, time/attendance fraud, and misuse of official time.

"The investigation substantiated the allegations that McKenna and Daly-Sims drank alcohol and went to strip clubs during work hours. McKenna and Daly-Sims both stated in their interviews that they drank alcohol and went to strip clubs during work hours," the report reads.
