Rule 23 of the House - Code of Official Conduct

Huh ….is this why Trey Gowdy resigned?
Trey is acting as an agent for a prosecution of a claim against the government?
Example scenario - Working for a whistleblower team? Fact Witness for a whistleblower? Trey was very hung up on Schiff needing to resign because Schiff's office talked to whistlebloweer so Shiff was fact witness.
Claims against the Government
-
A person may not be an officer or employee
of the House, or continue in its employment, if acting as an agent for
the prosecution of a claim against
the Government or if interested in such claim,
except as an original claimant or in the proper
discharge of official duties.
This provision was adopted in 1842 (V, 7227). It was renumbered January 3, 1953 (p. 24). It was amended by the Ethics Reform Act of 1989
to include employees in the prohibition against prosecuting or having an
interest in any claim against the Government, to specify the inapplicability
of that prohibition to the discharge of official duties, and to delete an obsolete reference to the Committee on House Administration (P.L. 101–194).

MOAR on why Schiff should've resigned since he was 'Fact Witness' ….it's criminal
Why Gowdy resigned?
In addition to rules XXIII through XXVI, several provisions of the Federal criminal code also address the conduct of Members, officers, and employees with respect to bribery of public officials (18 U.S.C. 201–203),
claims against the Government (18 U.S.C. 204, 205, 207(e), 216), and public
officials acting as agents of foreign principals (18 U.S.C. 219).
