Jenrette's Attorney Claims FBI Tape Gaps Implicate Entrapment
Defense attorney Kenneth M. Robinson argued in U S District Court that undercover FBI agents may have manipulated telephone recordings. He suggested two Nov 15 calls between Rep. John W. Jenrette and Abscam agent Anthony Amoroso were not recorded, possibly proving Jenrette was lured into a bribery discussion. The defense hinges on entrapment as Jenrette seeks to prove he did not intend to commit bribery.
