New Republic cites alleged $50,000 Libya payment to Billy Carter
The New Republic reports Billy Carter received a hidden $50,000 from a Libyan merchant for travel expenses in 1978 plus meetings with Yasser Arafat and George Habash during Libya trips. If true, the claim could imply false statements to the Justice Department over his Libyan agent registration. Billy Carter denies unreported payments and says he met Habash but not Arafat. Federal probes have found no criminal case yet.
