Cunningham pleads guilty

CNN.com - Rep. Cunningham pleads guilty to tax violations - Nov 28, 2005

Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy and tax charges. He admitted taking $2.4 million in bribes in a case that grew from an investigation into the sale of his home to a wide-ranging conspiracy involving payments in cash, vacations and antiques. Appearing close to tears, Cunningham said today: “I cannot undo what I have done but I can atone.” U.S. Attorney Carol Lam said: “He did the worst thing an elected official can do — he enriched himself through his position.”

At least he admitted it, finally - unlike his unnamed conspirators.
