Redacted News From the Future
The following is a piece of fiction created for your entertainment.
xxxxxxxxxxxx – With the probability of a federal indictment on racketeering charges pending, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx city councilman Xxxxx Xxxxx resigned today without admitting any wrongdoing.
In a carefully orchestrated press conference, and accompanied by his lawyer, xxxxx said he was resigning in order to spare the city from “farther distractions” and declared he would clear his name.
The first-term councilman was arrested in the course of an FBI undercover investigation designated as “Operation Charlie McCarthy.”
The federal investigation focused on allegations that Xxxxx and other elected officials used the power of their offices, their political contacts, and bribes to enrich themselves.
Russell Xxxxxxxxx, Special Agent in Charge in the Xxxxxxxxxx FBI office, said undercover agents videotaped Xxxxx coaching the agents on how to obtain xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx vouchers to pay rent, despite the fact that Xxxxx believed the agents were capable of working and earning wages to make the rent payments.
The evidence of fraud allegedly was obtained through confidential informants and included a tape showing Xxxxx urging undercover agents to submit affidavits claiming they were unable to find work or to otherwise support themselves, said Xxxxxxxxx. According to reliable sources who have seen the tape, Xxxxx told the agents he would submit rent bills and late charge fees totaling $600 a month for the rental units owned by Xxxxx. The proceeds were then given to Xxxxx, who owns several rental properties in the city.
Xxxxx County Xxxxxxxxxx Party officials rushed to distance themselves from the scandal engulfing the councilman.
