Sources: House clerk warned GOP about Foley years ago
POSTED: 12:07 a.m. EDT, October 19, 2006

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former House Clerk Jeff Trandahl repeatedly raised
red flags about former Rep. Mark Foley years before GOP leaders said
they knew about Foley's inappropriate conduct with pages, sources said.

Trandahl's lawyers said he is scheduled to testify Thursday before the
House Ethics Committee, which is investigating the Foley case.

Two sources close to Trandahl told CNN that he had been monitoring Foley's
interaction with pages after being told of troubling behavior by the
congressman in the House cloakroom and elsewhere. Trandahl took his
concerns to Kirk Fordham, Foley's former chief of staff, many times, the
sources said.

Fordham testified last week that he warned House Speaker Dennis Hastert's
chief of staff, Scott Palmer, at least three years ago about Foley's conduct,
according to a source familiar with Fordham's version of events.

Palmer has denied Fordham's account.
