Waters offers strong denial of charges as panel is formed,的 have not violated any House rules"

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) offered a strong denial Monday to charges she broke House ethics rules.

的 have not violated any House rules," Waters said in a statement released Monday.

"Therefore, I simply will not be forced to admit to something I did not do and instead have chosen to respond to charges made by the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct in a public hearing."

Waters released the statement after the House ethics committee released an 23-page report detailing allegations against her, and also after the panel announced it has formed an adjudicatory subcommittee to hold a trial regarding the charges. The report was written by the independent Office of Congressional Ethics.

"No benefit, no improper action, no failure to disclose, no one influenced: no case," Waters said in the statement.
