A Hidden Stake in a Mine

Undercover agents set up a fake company and posed as agents for rich foreign investors. They offered a sitting U.S. senator financing for a mining venture in which he held a concealed share. In return he agreed to use his office to get the government to buy the mine's metal. The meetings were recorded on tape and film. He said the agents had lured him into a crime he would never have committed on his own, and that their methods were so unfair the case should have been thrown out.
