A 2003 letter to former Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton signed by Seventh District Congressman Roy Blunt is one focus of the FBI investigation into Congressional corruption, ABC reporter Brian Ross told WGN Thursday.
The letter, also signed by Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, former Majority Leader Tom DeLay and chief deputy House whip Eric Cantor urged Norton to block construction of an Indian casino that would have competed with casinos owned by clients of lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
The revelation came in interviews following Ross's disputed story that Hastert is being targeted by the FBI.
A copy of the letter can be found at this link.
I really do not have any faith in the people of Southwest Missouri. I suspect they will return this crook to Washington. Wait, that is a bad choice of words since Roy lives there now and will never return to Missouri except to prep his son for a run for President.
