WASHINGTON — Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., attempted a last-minute deal Tuesday to head off a House ethics trial that could embarrass him and damage Democrats facing potentially severe election losses.
The talks between Rangel’s lawyer and the House ethics committee’s nonpartisan attorneys were confirmed by ethics chairwoman Zoe Lofgren. The complaint against Rangel stems from a two-year investigation of his personal finances and fundraising.
