Wright faces House censure over book contract scheme
A committee finds Wright violated House rules by abusing outside income limits through a sham book contract with Carlos Moore. The 1984 deal paid 55 percent to Wright for a non original manuscript, with bulk sales and dummy transactions. 19,068 copies printed vs 21,218 sold. Wright argues staff did it, but as speaker he bears responsibility. Evidence portrays a repeated evasion pattern and a failing defense.
