Rangel’s legal fees top $1 million
Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) has doled out a total of $1 million in legal fees since details about his tangled web of alleged tax and financial violations first broke last year.
The embattled 37-year veteran of the House shelled out $255,000 in legal fees to two firms and one single attorney in the past four months, according to this most recent campaign finance report.
The most recent payments add to a growing mountain of legal bills, which topped $1.15 million with the most recent payments.
