A former Iowa state senator pleaded guilty
Wednesday to concealing campaign expenditures and obstructing justice
as part of an endorsement-for-pay scheme that roiled the Iowa Republican
caucuses in 2012.
Kent Sorenson, of Milo, Iowa, admitted in
federal district court that former Rep. Ron Paul’s presidential campaign
secretly paid him $73,000 after he dramatically dropped his backing of
Rep. Michele Bachmann in late 2011 and endorsed Paul’s White House bid, saying at the time that Bachmann was no longer a viable candidate. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2014/08/27/former-iowa-state-senator-pleads-guilty-in-ron-paul-endorsement-for-pay-scheme/
