27 Congress members linked to South Korean donor
A federal grand jury indicted 27 present and former Congress members for allegedly accepting money from South Korean businessman Tongsun Park to sway official actions. Park, facing 36 corruption counts, fled to Seoul as the Carter administration pressed for his return. Attorney General Griffin Bell urged President Carter to press Seoul. Former Rep. Richard Hanna named an unindicted co conspirator, allegedly directing cash contributions and advising which colleagues to bribe. The indictment also lists two former Korean CIA directors as participants. Park’s case spans 1967 to 1975 with lavish parties and payments aimed at influencing Congress. Weather note appears but is unrelated.
