A congressional panel has convicted Democratic Representative Charles Rangel of New York on 11 counts of ethics violations. Rangel was cited for acts including failing to report rental income, improperly leasing a rent-stabilized apartment, and receiving donations from people with business before Congress. The House prosecutor, R. Blake Chisam, said there is no evidence Rangel engaged in corruption, but maintained that his practices violated congressional ethics rules. Rangel had asked for a delay in the trial because he says he could not afford to pay his attorneys. The full House Ethics Committee will now deliberate on whether to punish Rangel beginning on Thursday.
