Group files criminal complaint against Rep. Katherine Harris

RAW STORY
Published: Monday May 1, 2006


Common Cause, a nonprofit government watchdog group, filed a criminal complaint with the Department of Justice against Rep. Katherine Harris Monday, RAW STORY has learned.

The group's complaint alleges that Harris was bribed by a defense contractor who has already pled guilty to bribing former Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-CA). It alleges that Harris broke the law when the contractor paid $2,800 for a fundraising dinner the congresswoman held.

Cunningham was recently sentenced to eight years in prison.

Asked about the complaint Sunday by the Orlando Sentinel, a Harris spokesman declined comment. He suggested the charges were politically motivated.

The group's letter to the Justice Department follows. The complaint is also available on their web site.

Common Cause was founded in 1970 "as a vehicle for citizens to make their voices heard in the political process and to hold their elected leaders accountable to the public interest."
