UPDATE 1
The Department of Justice announced that former Iowa State Sen. Kent Sorenson pleaded guilty Wednesday to concealing payments he received from former Rep. Ron Paul’s presidential campaign in exchange for his support.
UPDATE 2
In the plea deal, Sorenson admits that he switched his support from Rep. Michele Bachmann to RP after meeting secretly with the campaign and negotiating payments that amounted to $73,000, according to DOJ officials.
DOJ officials said the payments were doled out in monthly installments of $8,000 and were concealed by “transmitting them to a film production company, then through a second company, and finally to Sorenson and his spouse.”
