DETROIT (AP) — An attorney representing U.S. Rep. John Conyers says an announcement is forthcoming on a Detroit radio talk show as the congressman deals with allegations of sexual harassment by former staff members.
Arnold Reed tweeted Monday afternoon that he has concluded his “talks with Congressman Conyers” and that the announcement will be made Tuesday morning.
I have just concluded my talks with #congressman Conyers. We will make an announcement tomorrow at 10:15 a.m. on the Mildred Gaddis show #102.7 FM

The Michigan Chapter of the National Action Network civil rights group also says it will hold a news conference about the allegations outside Conyers’ Detroit home following Reed’s announcement.
A number of Conyers’ colleagues in the House have called for the 88-year-old Detroit Democrat to step down following allegations of harassment and inappropriate touching by several women who once worked for him. The House Ethics Committee is investigating.
Reed has said Conyers denies the allegations.
