| | Request for Investigation of Rep. James Moran and Terry Lierman |
 | | Representative James P. Moran (D-VA) violated federal statutes prohibiting the receipt of illegal gratuities, or solicitation of things of value from favor-seekers, by accepting and/or soliciting a $25,000 unsecured loan, with generous terms, from a registered lobbyist, Terry Lierman. |
 | | Moran is Ranking Minority Member of the House Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on the District of Columbia. |
 | | Mame Reiley, Moran's former chief of staff and his current campaign chairman, said it was she, not Moran, who first approached Lierman for the loan after she became aware that Moran badly needed money to pay a lawyer to represent him in a contentious divorce. |
