Fordham to appear Thursday before House ethics committee
From CNN Congressional Producer Ted Barrett
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Kirk Fordham, a former top aide to disgraced Rep. Mark Foley, will testify Thursday before the House ethics committee about his ex-boss' inappropriate communications with teenage pages, a source close to the investigation tells CNN. Fordham, who says he informed senior GOP House officials about Foley's conduct, will address the committee in a meeting that is closed to the public. The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct -- or ethics committee -- is expected to interview more than four dozen people in the Foley matter. Fordham last week resigned his position as chief-of-staff to Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-New York, who is also under fire for acknowledging that he knew Foley had contacted the pages. But Reynolds denies knowing the extent of Foley's exchanges with the teenagers. |
