Dornan backs use of his office in undercover drug probe
Rep. Robert Dornan says it would be hypocritical to refuse an undercover narcotics investigation that used his Capitol Hill office. CBS reported that Dornan allowed the space for an operation targeting cocaine trafficking, leading to April arrests of ex-page Douglas Marshal and associates Robert Finkel and Troy Todd. Dornan, on the House Narcotics Abuse and Control Committee, said DC police and a newspaper columnist sought permission in March 1981 and he felt obliged to assist. He added that colleagues who use drugs should be prosecuted.
