Ethics Hearings to be Held After Elections
Talking Points Memo reports:
The ethics committee hearings for Reps. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) and Maxine Waters (D-CA) will be held after Election Day, the committee announced today.
Rangel's adjudicatory hearing will begin Nov. 15. Waters' will begin Nov. 29.

Rangel and Waters have both demanded their hearings begin as soon as possible.
