Stevens Refuses To Answer Tough Questions On His Record

ADP: Stevens Hiding Behind Expensive Lawyers And National Politics Instead Of Answering Questions About The FBI Investigation Or Legal Bills

Anchorage, AK – The Alaska Democratic Party (ADP) reacted today to Senator Ted Stevens and called his recent allegations conspiracy theories. Yesterday, Stevens refused to answer tough questions about his record on oil speculation, which has caused gas prices to skyrocket leaving Alaska families behind. He then accused the ADP of being controlled by outside interests. The ADP issued the following statement in response:

“Senator Stevens continues to refuse to answer Alaskans’ tough questions. Instead, he dodges and distracts the public with conspiracy theories. It’s absurd to think that anyone other than Alaskans run the Alaska Democratic Party. This is becoming a pattern – Stevens hiding behind expensive lawyers and national politics instead of answering questions about the FBI investigation and how he’s paying his legal bills. We expect Senator Stevens to answer hard questions and take responsibility for his record.”

– Kay Brown, spokeswoman for the Alaska Democratic Party.

On July 30, 2007, Stevens’ home was raided by FBI and IRS agents as part of a court authorized search warrant. It has been 333 days since the raid on Senator Stevens’ home and he still refuses to discuss the case or how he is paying for his legal fees.
