GOP leaders mishandled Foley situation, N.C. delegates say

WASHINGTON


Rep Howard Coble, R-6th, said yesterday that Republican leaders mishandled the sex scandal involving a former congressman and congressional pages by not sharing the initial allegations with other members of the committee that oversees the page program.

"One complaint I have is the Democratic member was never notified. I also heard (other Republican members) of the committee were not notified. Excluding members was a mistake, and once it surfaced it should have been shared," Coble said.
