Bush Donor Indicted for Laundering Money Into Bush's Reelection Campaign

The Toledo Blade, which was first onto the so-called “Coingate” scandal in Ohio, broke another related story this afternoon, reporting that a federal grand jury has indicted the central figure in the coin scandal --Tom Noe, the former Maumee coin dealer suspected of laundering money into President Bush's reelection campaign--on three counts.

Noe's attorney, Jon Richardson, told The Blade he was called this afternoon and informed of the indictment.

The prosecutor later held a press conference in Toledo at 4:30 p.m.

“The U.S. Attorney's office announced in April that it was investigating Mr. Noe for possible violations of federal campaign finance laws,” the Blade wrote today.
