Keating Five split on events in Senate ethics probe
Five senators facing Senate Ethics Committee questioning offer differing versions of their dealings with Lincoln Savings owner Charles H. Keating Jr. The probe centers on a 1987 meeting with regulator Edwin Gray and alleged pressure to ease rules. McCain aides described a dressing down, while DeConcini and others contest joint claims. The case ties to a $2 billion taxpayer cost to back deposits and more than $1.3 million in Keating campaign contributions.
