New York, NY –
The name of an influential, behind-the-scenes Republican strategist has surfaced in connection with former Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s scandal.
Back in November, Roger Stone had his lawyer write to the FBI alleging that Spitzer was consorting with a prostitute.
The letter says Stone learned the information from "a social contact in an adult-themed club." WNYC’s Andrea Bernstein has more on the man whose influence looms large in local and national politics.
Award–winning journalist Andrea Bernstein is the Director of the public radio Transportation Nation project, a partnership with WNYC, The Takeaway, Marketplace, WAMU (Washington, DC), WMFE (Orlando), KUHF (Houston), YPR (Montana and Wyoming), and KALW (San Francisco). She is also a regular guest–host on the Brian Lehrer show.
