Cunningham Denies Wearing a Wire
Former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham's lawyers today issued a statement denying the Time Magazine report that he had worn a wire to surreptitiously record conversations.
Attorneys Lee Blalack and Mark Holscher say Cunningham has never worn a body wire during conversations with his former congressional colleagues or any other public official. They also say he has not surreptitiously gathered evidence against any public officials.
The statement doesn't say whether he allowed federal agents to record his telephone conversations with other suspected wrongdoers. Will Cunningham's lawyers also deny this? In other words, did Time just get the method of the recording wrong, or were they just wrong, period? Background here.
