The investigation into dealings involving House Appropriations Chairman Jerry Lewis (R-CA) appears to be picking up steam. At least four clients of Copeland Lowery Jacquez and Denton -- a lobby firm with notoriously close ties to Lewis -- are confirmed to have received subpoenas. Feds are looking at the ties between Lewis and Copeland Lowery. "Copeland Lowery’s clients, many of which are in Lewis’ own district, are heavy donors to the California Republican," Roll Call explains, "and they have received tens of millions of dollars in federal earmarks thanks to Lewis’ clout." |
