Hazan, the lowest-ranking Likud member in the Knesset, has been in the harsh glare of public scrutiny several times over various reports of wrongdoing, including last week when he was roundly criticized for appearing to make fun of a handicapped fellow lawmaker.

At 4 p.m. the state watchdog is set to release a report on various issues related to primary fundraising campaigns in the run-up to the last elections.

The report includes allegations of possible criminal wrongdoing by one high-profile Knesset member.
