...Federal Election Commission pose "what could be a grave threat to Gingrich's career, providing the strongest evidence yet that Gingrich may have improperly used GOPAC to support his own political rise and to engineer the eventual Republican takeover of the House. Thousands of pages of damaging tape transcripts, internal memos and other records show that GOPAC was focused on specific national races in the late 1980s and 1990. That is potentially devastating evidence in support of the FEC's charges that GOPAC violated federal election law by attempting to influence federal campaigns without registering as a federal...

After a mishap occurred during the draining of three small plutonium storage tanks in 1994, he found that the job couldn't resume until the entire building had been scoured and 150 workers had been retrained--a process that would have taken five years and cost millions of dollars...

...Joseph Maffia, testified that King told him to alter a contract to show that Chavez had received $350,000 in training fees, and Chavez testified through an interpreter that he had never been given that money. Maffia's careful, measured testimony was somewhat compromised when the defense played a tape of an angry Maffia telling King over the phone, "I'm gonna kick your ass." On the other hand, King's assertion that he knew nothing about the alteration seemed disingenuous after his employees testified that their boss insisted on signing every check, some for as little...
