Ethics Panel Files Charges Against Rep. Waters

A House investigative panel has charged California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters with violating ethics rules.

WASHINGTON -- A House panel announced Monday that Rep. Maxine Waters has been charged with violating ethics rules, setting the stage for a second election-season trial for a longtime Democratic lawmaker and adding to the party's political woes.

The charges against Waters, a 10-term California congresswoman, focus on whether she broke the rules in requesting federal help for a bank where her husband was a board member and owned stock. She immediately denied the charges.

The House ethics committee's announcement comes just days after it outlined 13 charges against Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., including failing to disclose assets and income, delayed payment of federal taxes and improper use of a subsidized New York apartment for his campaign office......................>>>>......................>>>>...................http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/08/02/ethics-panel-charges-filed-rep-waters/
