Probe sought into Campbell's request for drug grant
Friday, April 30, 2004
The Department of Justice is being asked to investigate why Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-Colo.) sought a $1.2 million anti-drug grant for a private firm. Campbell's name appeared on a letter exhorting the Denver-based Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area to award a no-bid contract to Thinkstream. But soon after he announced his retirement from the Senate, Campbell said he did not sign or approve the letter although he inserted a $1.2 million earmark for Thinkstream. Thinkstream is a client of the law and lobbying firm of Brownstein Hyatt & Farber. Interior Secretary Gale Norton and her Congressional affairs director David Bernhardt worked at the firm before joining the Bush administration. Get the Story:
