The speculation focuses on who started the probe

Nashville, Tenn. (WTVF) – As a statement in the federal procedure for public corruption by Glen Casada and Cade Cothren, speculation from the street on the Capitol Hill continued to concentrate on how the scandal took place for the first time.

While the former House Speaker and his unique consultant were a mother when they entered the federal court, the defense had prepared the jury for the argument that the entire scandal of Cameron Sexton, spokesman for the house spokesman, who replaced Casada in 2019, was cooked.

The Republican Rep. Todd Warner, a Republican Lewisburg, who is a close ally with Kotben, came to observe the procedure. He said the investigation is doing a “political hit job of our own people”.

“What my gut feeling is is that he was looking for something or hoped that the FBI had something to do with the original school vouchers in Casada and Cothren, my guess – and that they hoped to find something about the governor,” said Warner.

Warner continued: “My question is, what would President Trump think in Washington thinking when spokesman Johnson used the FBI to take out members of his own caucus? That happened.”

The 65-year-old Casada and the 38-year-old Cothren are charged with an indictment for 20-point anchors, which accuses them of being financed in connection with a deal for the provision of state-funded mixed shipping services for members of the Republican Caucus of the Republican Republician State.

The prosecutors say that the two men in a “program with fraud, bribery, theft and money laundering” would have teamed up in which they have “prescribed” elected office for private profits, while using lies and covering as a means to achieve their punishment “.

If he is convicted, every man is in the federal prison for up to 20 years.

MP Jay Reedy (R-Inin) returned to the witness stand and testified that he had never made business with a company that GOP legislator offers if he had known the company, Phoenix Solutions.

This is due to Cothren’s role in a racist and sexist SMS -Messaging scandal, which has been uncovered for the first time New Schannel 5 Investigations.

The former legislative administrator Connie Ridley was also told.

In the courtroom, Ridley said that the company submitted a tax document signed by a “Matthew Phoenix”.

We now know that Matthew Phoenix was really Cade Cothren.

Ridley said that her office Cothren’s participation confirmed by finding his signature on the checks that had been written to Phoenix Solutions.

“If I knew that Mr. Cothren was the person behind Phoenix Solutions, I would not have approved them as a state seller,” said Ridley. “I had no confidence in Mr. Cothren and his decision -making and his judgment.”

One of the lawyers from Cothren, Joy Boyd Longnecker, argued that the approval of providers was not from Ridley’s business.

“State representatives have never come to them and asked for permission to hire a constituent postal seller, right?” Asked Longnecker.

“No,” replied Ridley.

The attempt, which is expected to take up to five weeks, will be resumed on Monday.
