When last we met Rep. Rick Renzi, R-Ariz., at the end of last week, he’d just been indicted on several federal charges. On Monday, we found out that Renzi — despite having previously announced that he will not seek reelection, and despite pressure from his colleagues and party leaders in Congress — will be staying in his seat for the moment.
In a statement released Monday, Renzi said, “I will not resign and take on the cloak of guilt because I am innocent … My legal team of Reid Weingarten and Kelly Kramer will handle these legal issues while I continue to serve my constituents.”
