Paul Kiel at TPM Muckraker, who has been keeping close tabs on developments, reports "Lewis Caught in Lie, Shilled for Lobbyist."
Paul quotes an AP story:
"Republican Rep. Jerry Lewis, under federal investigation over his ties to a lobbying firm, issued a statement last month saying his office never recommends lobbyists to constituents. A Lewis letter released by San Bernardino County appears to contradict that claim."
For details aplenty, TPM Muckraker has its Jerry Lewis Archives.
