Grand jury subpoenas Visclosky's offices
Posted By ap 7 months ago in NewsWASHINGTON (AP) — A federal grand jury has subpoenaed records of Rep. Pete Visclosky in a criminal probe involving a Washington-area lobbying firm that specialized in providing congressional earmarks to defense contractors.
The Indiana Democrat said Friday that the subpoenas went to his congressional office, campaign committees and some of his employees and that they demanded documents related to the firm PMA Group.
The founder of the now-defunct company, Paul Magliocchetti, is a former staffer on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense chaired by Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa. Visclosky is also a member of the panel, and chairs another House appropriations subcommittee.
Visclosky says he will cooperate with the investigation, which he described as being in an early stage. He says he will not comment further.
