Congressman Mark Walker was just named as “Public Official A” after being ensnared in a massive corruption investigation that already brought an indictment for NC GOP Chairman Robin Hayes earlier this morning. That Walker was named “Public Official A” in an investigation exposing pay-to-play politics and bribery should come as no surprise given Walker’s staunch opposition to HR 1, the ambitious anti-corruption legislation passed unanimously by Democrats earlier this year.
DCCC Spokesperson Cole Leiter release the following statement:
“Now that we know Congressman Mark Walker has been swept up in an investigation into bribery, his vocal opposition to aggressive work to clean up Washington and end pay-to-play politics makes perfect sense. Congressman Walker is exactly what voters hate about Washington and he owes North Carolinians answers for his actions.”
