Former Virginia Delgate Under federal Probe
Posted on Nov 19, 2009
A federal grand jury has subpoenaed from the Virginia House of Delegates documents related to former Del. Phillip A. Hamilton's job at Old Dominion University.
Bruce Jamerson, the House clerk, confirmed to news reporters that he turned over Hamilton's economic interest forms, travel vouchers and documents relating to the Old Dominion University teaching center.
Hamilton, under a federal grand jury investigation and an investigation by the House Ethics Advisory Panel, resigned from the House of Delegates Sunday.
While it is unknown what charges, if any, might be forthcoming, earlier news reports have indicated Hamilton may have used his position in the Virginia House of Delegates improperly to obtain a quid pro quo from ODU. It has been reported Hamilton was seeking a position at the University while assisting ODU in obtaining state funds.
Investigators may be examining such a connection. Under federal law, even a state public officer is subject to bribery charges under the provisions of the Hobbs Act (18 U.S.C. 1951). A person convicted of a violation of the Hobbs Act faces a prison sentence of up to 20 years.
