House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is standing behind Rep.
Robert Andrews (D-N.J.) despite calls for the veteran lawmaker to
relinquish his leadership post while he is investigated on ethics
charges.
Pelosi and other members of the Democratic leadership, including Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.) and Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra (Calif.), backed Andrews on Wednesday as he battles charges of using campaign funds for family trips.
“You’re not going to convict somebody just because there’s an allegation. That’s not America,” Hoyer said.
