CBS: Charlie Rangel strikes settlement on ethics violations
Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel has reportedly struck a deal to admit to ethics violations in order to avoid a public House trial, WCBS reports.
Details are expected to be released Thursday afternoon, when the first House panel meets to prepare for the potential trial.
UPDATE: CBS has since reported that the deal Rangel initially had in place for a settlement has gone sour, when Republican House members requested concessions that Rangel reportedly would not agree to.
