Why we checked itSpecific claim about a named congressional working group and its co-chairs — verifiable against congressional records
What we foundCharles's role as top staffer to a House Bi-Partisan Drug Policy Group is confirmed by his own official biography, and Cummings and Rangel are both associated with a Congressional drug policy caucus in available records, but no source directly identifies them as co-chairs of the specific group Charles ran in 1995–1999.
