California Democrat Accused in Bribery Case

Rep. Jane Harman vehemently denied on Monday allegations published in a congressional magazine that she had offered to help a "suspected Israeli agent" seek reduced charges for two men accused of espionage in exchange for the agent lobbying House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for a key chairmanship for Harman.

In 2005, the Bush administration charged two officials of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, with which Harman has long ties, with conspiracy to hand over Pentagon documents to Israel.

Harman, a California Democrat, was overlooked by Pelosi to head the House Intelligence Committee in 2006 when Democrats regained the majority. The post instead went to Rep. Silvestre Reyes of Texas. - FOX News Story
