Probe moves closer to Harris

July 20, 2006

WASHINGTON - One former top aide to Rep. Katherine Harris has been questioned and a second soon will be amid an escalating inquiry into the relationship between the congresswoman and a defense contractor.

Investigators with the Justice and Defense departments, along with the FBI and a federal grand jury, are examining Harris' dealings with Mitchell Wade, who made illegal campaign contributions and later asked her to help secure $10-million in federal money for his company.

Former Harris chief of staff Fred Asbell is scheduled to be interviewed as soon as next week. Ed Rollins, her former top campaign consultant who conducted an internal inquiry into Harris and Wade, answered questions at the Justice Department in Washington two weeks ago.

"I can't imagine they would want me to fly to Washington if it wasn't about her," Rollins said Wednesday. "It's all about her. I don't know about anything besides her."

But, but Kathy just said on Monday that she wasn't the target of an investigation. Does this mean she lied?
