No deal. NY Times reports Rangel will stand trial
Another breaking developmental. Now, it appears Rangel will stand trial:
The House ethics committee laid out 13 charges of House rules violations against Representative Charles B. Rangel on Thursday, and began the process for a rare public trial on the charges.
The move came after Mr. Rangel, a veteran congressman, failed to reach a settlement to avoid the rare and potentially embarrassing proceeding before the committee gathered at 1 p.m.
Mr. Rangel’s lawyers continued to hope they could still settle the case.
