A top lawmaker is introducing legislation that aims to increase accountability for federal judges accused of misconduct and abuse.

The new bill from Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., would ensure that pending investigations into judicial misconduct wouldcontinue, even if the judges under review retire or resign.

Johnson is trying to close a loophole that federal judges have used to collect pension benefits despite facing credible accusations of wrongdoing by employees.

"Judges and courts should not be allowed to sweep bad behavior under the rug," said Johnson, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee's panel on the courts. "This is a necessary first step in ensuring that our courts are places of integrity and safe for judiciary employees."
