Pelosi: Rangel Ethics Probe Will End By Jan. 3

WASHINGTON (AP) ― House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the ethics investigation into Rep. Charles Rangel will end by early next year.

Pelosi issued a statement late Wednesday saying she has been assured the report will be completed before this session of Congress ends on Jan. 3, adding: "I look forward to reviewing the report at that time."

She has resisted calls from Republicans to oust Rangel from his powerful position atop the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee over concerns about his personal finances and ethics.

Her announcement puts a ticking clock on an investigation that could have dragged on for many months as it examines his taxes, fundraising for a college center named in his honor, and his use of rent-stabilized apartments in Harlem.
