We learn today from the Carpetbagger Report that Roll Call has now followed up (sub.required) on the story of Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R) and the apparent 3/4 million dollar favor he got from a defense contractor with business before two of his committees.
We’ve been doing some of our own reporting on this. And Roll Call reports one detail we were working: the real estate agent who arranged the deal, though handled it as a non-listed private transaction, also happens to be a major campaign contributor to Cunningham. In the 2001-2 cycle, Elizabeth Todd and her husband donated $3000 to Cunningham’s campaign.
And we think there’s more still to be told.
