More GOP corruption trouble: Feds raid Stevens’ luxury home
FBI and IRS agents raided the Alaskan home of Sen. Ted Stevens yesterday looking for information on a 2000 substantial remodeling project supervised by Bill Allen, a contractor and supporter that has already plead guilty to bribing Alaskan state legislators.
Stevens said in a written statement that his lawyers were told Monday morning that federal agents “wished to search my home in Girdwood in connection with an ongoing investigation. I continue to believe this investigation should proceed to its conclusion without any appearance that I have attempted to influence its outcome. I will continue my policy of not commenting on this investigation until it has concluded.”
