Rangel says ethics panel ruled against him
WASHINGTON (Reuters) –
Democrat Charles Rangel,
the top tax writer in Congress, said on Thursday the House of
Representatives ethics panel found him in violation of the chamber's
rules for accepting a corporate-funded trip.
Talking with reporters on Capitol Hill, Rangel questioned the ethics
committee's findings and declined to respond when asked if he would
step down as head of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Rangel quoted the ethics committee report as saying that he did not
know that the trip was underwritten by corporations, but that two of
his staffers did.
