A Report Alleges Further Financial Follies From Democratic Congressman Charles Rangel

Funny Money

(Fox News) - A report by a non-partisan group says House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel failed to report acquiring, owning, or disposing of assets — a total of 28 times during the past 30 years.

Researchers with the Sunlight Foundation say "Assets worth between $239,026 and $831,000 appear or disappear with no disclosure of when they were acquired, how long they were held, or when they were sold."

The New York Democrat is currently under investigation by the ethics committee for a variety of other issues. The New York Post reports he dismissed the finding as a "cheap political stunt."
