Cunningham Bribery Alleged
by TChris
Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham hasn't been charged with a crime (yet), but documents filed in the government's forfeiture action against his house accuse Cunningham of taking a bribe.
Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham "demanded and received" a bribe from a Pentagon contractor who paid far above market value for the congressman's Del Mar-area home in 2003, according to court documents filed Thursday by federal prosecutors.
Without citing details, prosecutors said in the documents that Cunningham sold the house in return for his influence in Congress, where he serves on the House subcommittee that oversees Pentagon spending.
When will charges against Cunningham be announced? Feel free to start your own office pools.
