WASHINGTON — A federal grand jury has subpoenaed a Democratic congressman in a corruption probe, the first concrete indication that a long- simmering Justice Department investigation of a top lobbying firm also has the potential to seriously damage congressional careers.
Friday, Rep. Pete Visclosky, D-Ind., acknowledged the grand jury has demanded documents from his office, some employees and his campaign committees.
The probe focuses on the PMA Group, a now-defunct lobbying firm that specialized in securing federal contracts for defense firms from Visclosky, Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., and others on the House Appropriations defense subcommittee, of which Murtha is chairman.
