House Panel Says Rep. Charles B. Rangel Violated Ethics Rules

A House investigative panel has concluded that Representative
Charles B. Rangel, Democrat of New York, violated a range of
ethics rules.

The investigative panel did not disclose any details about
the violations that it found, but one House official who has
been briefed on the findings said that they included some
that were among the most serious allegations that had been
examined.

In its investigation, which lasted nearly two years, the
committee looked into accusations that Mr. Rangel received
improper discounts on four rent-stabilized apartments he
rented in Harlem, that he failed to report or pay taxes on
rental income from a villa he owned in the Dominican
Republic, and that he improperly provided legislative favors
for a company that promised to give $1 million for an
academic center named for him.
