Feds Have GOP Congressman on Tape

Lawyers for indicted Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE) acknowledged that “the government made at least two recordings of the sitting congressman over the course of its investigation surrounding illicit campaign contributions from a Nigerian-Lebanese billionaire,” the Daily Beast reports.

“The prosecution said in a filing that the recordings in question—a 2018 conversation with a government informant, and a 2019 interview with an agent in Fortenberry’s Nebraska home—are only two among more than 50 audio and video recordings they have turned over to the defense team. And those dozens of recordings are supplemented by more than 11,600 pages of ‘written communications, reports, transcripts, articles, and other records,’ the federal attorneys said.”
