Keating aide claims gifts bought access to senators
James J. Grogan, former Keating aide, testified at Senate Ethics hearings that 1.3 million dollars in contributions to five U.S. senators were for access not action. He said he never saw or felt that contributions compelled specific regulatory favors, while witnesses examined whether lawmakers' actions were tied to money. Grogan, granted immunity, challenged Senator Riegle’s earlier testimony about a pivotal 1987 meeting with regulator Edwin Gray.
