Federal Prosecutors Motion Calls Made During Bid-Rigging Investigation
Federal prosecutors in the bid-rigging case of former Transportation Secretary Bill Nighbert, road contractor Leonard Lawson and Lawson aide Brian Billings filed a motion Tuesday detailing 33 calls in early 2008 Nighbert made to Lawson's home. Prosecutors say four of the calls came in January, and the rest were made in March, while an investigation was being conducted, and allegedly after Nighbert and Lawson became concerned that another Transportation Cabinet official might decide to cooperate with the investigation. Trial is scheduled for June 23rd. in Covington.
