Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) Charged with Ethics Violations

California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters has been charged by a House Investigative panel on Monday with violating ethics rules, according to Associated Press.

 

Waters, a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, would face a trial in the fall unless she negotiates a settlement.

 

Waters is the second Democrat to suffer such charges, following Rep. Charles Rangel of New York.

 

The specific charges against Waters were not made public in the announcement Monday from the House ethics committee.

 

Waters has been under investigation for a possible conflict of interest involving her assistance to a bank that was seeking federal aid. Her husband owned stock in the bank and had served on its board.
