Ex aide to Flood pressured in corruption probe
Senate testimony reveals Justice Department strike force head John Dowd said Stephen Elko, a former Flood aide, faced pressure from others to block cooperation in a federal investigation of corruption tied to Hahnemann Hospital funding. Elko, who had been granted immunity after a bribery conviction in California, provided information about Rep. Flood and Rep. Eilberg. Dowd noted several parties wished Elko to stay quiet, as Carter administration officials weighed U.S. attorney replacement amid probe into Eilberg-linked actions. Baker testified he miscalculated in not informing senior officials earlier about potential implications of Marston’s investigation.
