Waters slams ethics case delay - Washington Times
California Rep. Maxine Waters Friday strongly condemned a decision by the House Ethics Committee to put off indefinitely a hearing into charges that she violated congressional rules by intervening on behalf of a minority-owned bank with ties to her family.

Without elaborating, the House Ethics Committee Friday postponed a long-scheduled Nov. 29 hearing on the California Democrat, one of the most prominent black lawmakers in Congress. The panel's senior Democratic and Republican members said in a joint letter that the session was being put off because of unspecified new evidence that had surfaced in the case.

Investigators for the bipartisan committee in July detailed three charges against Mrs. Waters, alleging that she intervened with federal regulators on behalf of Boston-based OneUnited Bank, in which she and her husband were investors and on whose board Mrs. Waters' husband once served as director.

In the "statement of alleged violation" released at the time, committee investigators said there was "substantial reason to believe" that Mrs. Waters broke the official rules of the House.

Mrs. Waters has strongly denied the accusations and said in a blistering statement Friday that the ethics panel was "showing a complete disregard for due process and fairness" by delaying her case.
