Washington Post: Eight Members of Congress officially under investigation

5.30.07

House Members Under Investigation

Six House Republicans and two Democrats recently under investigation by federal authorities:
___
Republicans
  • Ken Calvert of California, 8th term. The FBI agent reviewed copies of Calvert's financial disclosure reports after a newspaper reported he steered federal money for a planned freeway interchange 16 miles from property he sold for a large profit.

  • John Doolittle of California, 9th term. The FBI in April searched his Oakton, Va., home, where his wife Julie, ran a bookkeeping and event-planning business. Among her clients was now-jailed GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

  • Jerry Lewis of California, 15th term. Prosecutors are examining Lewis' dealings with lobbyists and contractors during the time he chaired the House Appropriations Committee.

  • Gary Miller of California, 5th term. Federal agents have looked into land deals involving Miller.

  • Tim Murphy of Pennsylvania, 3rd term. Authorities are investigating whether Murphy's legislative aides performed campaign work on government time.

  • Rick Renzi of Arizona, 3rd term. FBI agents raided his wife's insurance business amid reports that Renzi paid substantial back taxes to settle charges that his businesses improperly paid for his first congressional campaign.

___
Democrats

  • William J. Jefferson of Louisiana, 9th term. FBI agents, pursuing a bribery probe, raided Jefferson's congressional office and his home, where they found $90,000 in a freezer.

  • Alan Mollohan of West Virginia, 13th term. Mollohan stepped down from the House ethics committee after federal agents began a probe of federal funds he helped steer to nonprofit groups he founded.
