Ethics trials for two veteran Democrats will be held after midterm elections for Congress, the House ethics committee has just announced.Most ethical Congress.... EVAHHHH!
The hearing for Rep. Charles Rangel, D-NY., accused of 13 violations of House rules, will be held Nov. 15, the first day of Congress’ lame-duck session following the Nov. 2 election. The trial of Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., is slated for Nov. 29.
The announcement by Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., who chairs the ethics panel, rejects a request by Republicans on the panel, who last week called for the public trials to be held before Nov. 2.
