Stevens: Investigation “Could Cause Me Some Trouble”Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) told the Associated Press that the ongoing federal probe into his dealings with oil services company Veco could have ramifications at the polls:
“The worst thing about this investigation is that it does change your life in terms of employment potential,” Stevens said in an interview with The Associated Press. “It doesn’t matter what anyone says, it does shake you up. If this is still hanging around a year from November, it could cause me some trouble.”
Stevens also commented on his home remodeling project overseen by Veco that’s reportedly of interest to investigators:
“I’m working to get this concept out of my mind that someone is trying to make something illegal out of all this, That’s what’s really disturbing.”
While Stevens was in Washington, Veco executives made sure his house was safely ratcheted off the ground and a new first story slipped in.
