Senate exposed bribery attempt over Indian land attorney fees
Oklahoma Senator Gore alleged a bribery scheme tied to defense of contracts between Choctaw Chickasaw nations and their attorneys led to a Senate and House shake up. He named ex-senators and unnamed lawmakers, signaling possible investigations and a lobby that pressed to protect large fees. The controversy centered on a May 4 proposal to restrict contracts unless Congress approved them, with claims of large potential fees and improper influence.
