No Deal Yet For Rangel

Unless Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) can strike a plea bargain with the House Ethics Committee in the next hour, members on the committee will convene to decide which charges to bring against Rangel in a trial that would likely begin in September.

This morning, Rangel, the fomer Ways and Means Chair, told a group of reporters that he hasn’t had a bad day since he survived a Chinese military attack in Korea 60 years ago, but said “today I have to reassess that.”

Rangel is 80-years-old. He has served in Congress for four decades.
