WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- Rep. Charles Rangel, censured by the House last week, is now being investigated for using campaign funds for his legal defense, officials say.
The Federal Election Commission has taken up a complaint filed by the National Legal and Policy Center that Rangel, D-N.Y., improperly used funds from his National Leadership PAC to pay for legal counsel for the House ethics case, the New York Post reported.
