Lost Trust appeal considered in Charleston
The Justice Department will decide within 30 days whether to appeal a federal judge's order dismissing indictments against five former state lawmakers in the Operation Lost Trust scandal. Spokesman John Russell said the public integrity division will review whether to appeal or drop the case, with final decision by Deputy Assistant US Attorney Mark Richard. Former U.S. Attorney Bart Daniel defended the office, saying the case involved corrupt officials taking bribes on videotape from the 1990 FBI sting that targeted lawmakers selling votes on a betting bill.
