The Federal Election Commission is investigating a complaint that Rep. Charles Rangel improperly used his National Leadership PAC to fund his legal defense on ethics charges for which he was censured Thursday, The Post has learned.

The FEC is acting on a complaint by the National Legal and Policy Center filed after The Post reported last month that Rangel paid nearly $400,000 from his PAC.

Lawmakers are only allowed to use money in their individual campaign funds for legal fees, or they can set up legal defense funds for such costs.

Rangel, who said he has lost much sleep during the two-year investigation, was interrupted by applause twice - including when he said: "I am not going away. I am here." A few Republicans clapped, but most support came from Democrats.

And here's a video of his self-serving speech after the censure. At the very end you can clearly see democrats rising to give him a standing ovation as he leaves the podium:
