Georgia Republican Sen. David Perdue’s off-market sale of his Washington home to an industry lobbyist whose organization is under the purview of the Senate committee he sits on is raising questions over whether the deal was a violation of Senate ethics.

The $1.8 million purchase, first reported by ProPublica on Thursday, was made off-market, meaning the home was not listed publicly.
