Republicans Say Late President Helped In Loan
Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee say the late President Roosevelt influenced Elliott Roosevelt’s $200,000 loan from John Hartford and initiated the $4,000 settlement. They argue Hartford acted to avoid the President’s enmity and that the tax deduction on $196,000 loss should be contested. Democrats counter that Elliott’s testimony may differ and a full record would be filed.
