Fox News
Ray LaHood, who served as transportation secretary under former President Barack Obama, has admitted to federal prosecutors that he intentionally did not report a $50,000 loan he received from a Lebanese-Nigerian businessman, according to reports.
The disclosure about LaHood came in a document that the U.S. Justice Department made public Wednesday, the report said. Itwas unclear why the information was not made public sooner. LaHood, 75, a former Peoria, Illinois-area congressman who served in Obama’s Cabinet from 2009 to 2013, initially denied receiving the loan when questioned by the FBI in 2017 but changed his story later, after being shown a copy of the check he received, according to a non-prosecution deal he struck with federal authorities in 2019, Politico reported.More Related News
