Here is an excerpt from an NBC News story:
Fattah spoke to reporters outside his office Wednesday in the Rayburn House Office Building about the federal corruption charges against him. He said he has not yet received the indictment, but maintains his previous statement that he has “never been involved in any wrong doing, any unlawful activity and any misappropriation of federal funds.”
Fattah said he will recuse himself from his leadership positions on the House Appropriations Committee until the matter is resolved and noted “I am going to keep doing my work.”
He also said the matter should not be a “distraction” and the issue is “not Deflategate” because “This is a normal issue of which there are allegations after a very long running eight year investigation.”
