I’ve been putting out calls as fast as my fingers can dance, and we’ve already gotten a response from Rep. Steve Pearce (R-NM).
“I can confirm to you that the congressman did not contact Mr. Iglesias about the courthouse investigation,” Pearce spokesman David Host told me. As McClatchy reported, the case Iglesias was referring to in his interview involved a former Democratic state senator who “took money to ensure an $82 million courthouse contract would go to specific company.”
I’ll be providing updates as I receive more answers.
