Republican Fred Thompson said he was unaware of the adviser’s criminal past but would not throw a friend under the bus for old indiscretions. The adviser, Philip Martin, pleaded guilty in 1979 to selling 11 pounds of marijuana and faced probation violations and other charges in 1983. Thompson noted Martin has since paid his debt and reformed.
