Park testimony opens amid probe of foreign influence buys
Tongsun Park faces public questioning by the House ethics committee on whether the $750,000 he says he paid to multiple congressmen was intended to buy influence for South Korea. He denies agent status while acknowledging Seoul contacts and argues the funds were lawful political contributions. The week also covers Panama Canal treaty debates, energy package talks, and a CBS interview on a U.S. bugging operation in Seoul. Probes note one former congressman convicted and another indicted over Park money, with two more potential indictments but no charges against current lawmakers. Park claims he gave money to eight senators and about 26 House members, including Brademas and McFall.
