Bloomberg BNA Daily Report for Executives

Tim O'Toole's Congressional testimony is quoted in this article on legislation adopted by the Senate that would revise key federal anticorruption laws dealing with honest-services fraud, bribery, and illegal gratuities. The House Judiciary Committee previously approved similar legislation. O'Toole testified on behalf of the National Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys at a House Judiciary hearing last July, arguing that, despite some high-profile cases, public corruption is not widespread and is being dealt with adequately under existing laws.
