Papers Call for Rangel to Resign As Kosmas, Mahoney Hang On To His Cash

Will Suzanne Kosmas and Tim Mahoney finally call for Rangel's resignation and return their tainted cash?

Charlie Rangel (D-NY) to step down as Chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee in light of his three ethics investigations for questionable practices.
