Subject: NM USATTY - urgent issue
Importance: High
I just received a telephone call from Steve Bell, Sen. Domenici's CoS, who urgently
reported the following:
1. Outgoing USATTY David Iglesias is holding a press conference at 11:30 Eastern this
morning.
2. He is allegedly going to say that he was contacted by two Members of Congress last
Fall regarding the investigation-into the courthouse constructizn corruption case.
Information on this is in the following article:
http://www.abqtrib.com/news/2006/dec/19/federal-attorney-plans-step-dom-iglesiasinvestig/
, 3. He is allegedly going to say that the Members urged him to deliver indictments
'before November's election. He will further say that one of the Members, frustrated with
his answer, hung up on him in anger.
4 . He is allegedly going to link these phone calls with the current news - saying that
he believes this ultimately led to his being asked to resign by DOJ.
Bell said Domenici's idea is not to respond, and hopefully make this a one day story.
They have already been contacted by McClatchey Unfortunately, I do not think that they
can make an allegation such as this go away so easily. They have not confirmed to the
reporter they were one of the Members.
