Mr. Jackson's problems stem from his refusal to answer questions about
his role in a Philadelphia redevelopment deal.
The city's housing authority has filed a lawsuit charging that Mr.
Jackson tried to punish the agency for nixing a deal involving
music-producer-turned-developer Kenny Gamble, a friend of Jackson.
.............................................................................................
The report found what it called "some problematic instances''
involving HUD contracts and grants, including Jackson's opposition to
money for a contractor whose executives donated exclusively to
Democratic candidates.
Asked if Mr. Jackson was planning to resign, HUD spokeswoman D.J.
Nordquist wrote in an emailed statement that she was "not at liberty
to say what the announcement is."
