D'Amato denies Abscam bribery accusations
New York Republican senator Alfonso D'Amato rejected tapes alleging he took bribes during Abscam. He called the charges completely untrue and said the release would shock his family, noting the conversation involved Alfred Carpentier and an undercover FBI agent in 1979. Carpentier’s recent federal conviction was unrelated to the D'Amato claim.
