NYT: Feds Investigating Lewis “Gatekeeper,” “Queen of Earmarks” | Talking Points Memo

More details on the Lewis investigation.

Last week, Justin reported on Rep. Jerry Lewis’s (R-CA) top aide at the House Appropriations Committee, Letitia White. The FBI’s investigation of Lewis is reportedly revolving around Lewis’ very close ties to lobbyist Bill Lowery, and Letitia White was one of a few aides who moved from Lewis’s office to Lowery’s.
