Black Caucus Chair on Rangel: Don’t Presume Guilt
(AP) — The leader of the Congressional Black Caucus warned fellow Democrats on Monday against rushing to judgment and pressuring New York Democrat Charles Rangel to admit ethical misdeeds. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., said members of both parties should not presume Rangel’s guilt. However, her message is aimed at Democrats who may want Rangel to admit to the allegations against him to avoid an election-season ethics trial.
