Charlie Rangel emerged from a closed-door meeting in Nancy Pelosi’s
office Tuesday night to declare that he’s still the chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee and hasn’t agreed to give up his gavel – even
as some media outlets were reporting that he’d done just that.
But asked whether he’d still be the chairman tomorrow and in the coming
days, Rangel said: “I can’t make all those promises at my age.”
And when Pelosi was asked whether Rangel was resigning, she said “no comment.”
