Bribery Claims From Clark Inquiry Highlighted by Edmunds
Ex Senator Edmunds closes three month Montana inquiry charging Clark and agents with perjury and bribery. He accuses Clark of amassing wealth to buy influence and to secure a seat in the U S Senate, arguing the case voids the election under common law. Authorities contend officials failed to curb a “one man power” and hold leaders responsible for agents’ actions.
