Harris Staff Subpoenaed

Submitted by Katie Schlieper on Wed, 08/09/2006 - 10:36am.

The inquiry into Rep. Katherine Harris' (R-FL) relationship with defense contractor Mitchell Wade, and the illegal contributions he made to her campaign, is growing - two staffers from her troubled Senate campaign are being subpoenaed on the matter.

 

Wade, the defense contractor who bribed former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, made the illegal contributions - and took Harris out for several expensive meals in DC - about the same time she was championing an earmark for his company.  Harris was subpoenaed by federal investigators to appear before the grand jury on the matter several months back, a fact she apparently failed to disclose to congressional leadership or her campaign staff until recently.
