Last year Ms Bordallo was censured when it was revealed she was renting a property to the Japanese consulate general on Guam.

The Guam Daily News reported the Board of the Office of Congressional Ethics also questioned Ms Bordallo receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars of free lodging and meals at the Outrigger Guam Resort.
