Pelosi calls for House ethics investigation of Oregon congressman - Chicago Tribune
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi called Sunday night for a House ethics investigation of embattled Rep.David Wu, D-Ore., over allegations he had an “unwanted ######ual encounter” with the teenage daughter of a close <a href="http://www.trading666.com/others-t1-29.html"><strong>cheap marlboro red cigarettes online </strong></a> friend last Thanksgiving.Pelosi issued the calls after Politico.com reported earlier Sunday that a Wu adviser said Wu wouldn't resign from office, but had agreed not to seek reelection next year.“He isn’t going to be running for reelection,” a Wu adviser, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Politico late Sunday night. “But he hasn’t done anything that rises to the level of requiring him to resign.”Pelosi's office than issued the following statement: "I call on the Ethics Committee <a href="http://www.trading666.com/others-brand-cigarettes-f2-66.html"><strong>wholesale newport 100s cigarettes online </strong></a> to initiate an investigation into the allegations against Congressman Wu. With deep disappointment and sadness about this situation, I hope that the Ethics Committee will take up this matter. I will send a letter to the Ethics Committee tomorrow asking them to formally initiate a review of this matter.”That was followed by an even tougher statement from Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., who chairs the party’s campaign committee. “New allegations of unacceptable <a href="http://www.trading666.com/T-shirt-polo-men-t-shirt-f2-61-c3-89.html"><strong>buy cheap polo t-shirt online </strong></a> behavior by Congressman Wu are extremely serious and disturbing. I strongly agree with Leader Pelosi’s request that the House Ethics Committee use its authority to begin an immediate investigation,” Israel said in a statement.Earlier Sunday, Politico said Pelosi and her lieutenants had told Wu on Saturday that “he has no support” from his colleagues or party leaders and they would like to see him leave the House as soon as possible. <a href="http://www.041823.com/view.php?id=25214"><strong>Blasts rock Tripoli, NATO targets Gaddafi compound (Reuters)</strong></a>
