Judge links Ben Stevens to FBI probeFor the first time, a federal judge has publicly linked former state Senate president Ben Stevens to an FBI corruption probe. The Stevens connection turned up in a legal filing in the Bruce Weyhrauch case, in which U.S. District Court Judge John Sedwick acknowledged Stevens’ role. Sedwick noted that the identification of Stevens had “already been reported in the press,” based on comparing the money paid by former VECO Corporation CEO Bill Allen and Stevens’ financial disclosure reports. Sedwick wrote … quote … “The evidence which the United States will present at trial will show that State Senator A is, in fact, Ben Stevens.” |
