FBI arrests consultant in Teamsters probe
The FBI arrested Washington political consultant Martin Davis 35 on one count of mail fraud in a probe alleging a scheme to channel union funds into Ron Carey’s re election campaign. His firm November Group allegedly steered $95,000 in donations via Barbara Arnold, wife of Massachusetts telemarketing contractor Michael Ansara. The grand jury weighs broader corruption claims in the Teamsters funded by $22 million in federal money. Carey’s campaign and organizers deny wrongdoing. Hoffa backers urge election officers to act.
