The FBI has discovered that several Republicans may be involved in a lobbyist-supported prostitution ring at the Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C., according to a Wall Street Journal story that broke Thursday. The Journal reports that there is so much evidence that investigators are spreading across D.C. to see exactly how many lawmakers are involved.
Mitchell Wade tipped off prosecutors about the sex-for-favors scheme, according to Daily Kos. Wade has already pleaded guilty to bribing Randy "Duke" Cunningham, former representative to Congress from San Diego, and is cooperating with investigators. |
