Koreagate Ends With Passman Acquittal But Sparks Controversy
The case against former Congressman Otto E. Passman ends in a not guilty verdict on bribery and tax evasion charges linked to Koreagate. Tongsun Park testified he gave Passman about $477,000 in cash envelopes. Passman’s hometown Monroe Louisiana becomes the trial venue after a home district rule move. Only one Koreagate figure, Richard T. Hanna, faced substantial punishment, while several House members received reprimands or were absolved. The piece argues justice may be harsher on future Koreagate cases.
