Pro-Life Renzi Allegedly Bilked Pro-Life Groups for House RunJustin over at ABC has more on that insurance fraud part of last month’s indictment against Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ ):
Rep. Rick Renzi, R-Ariz., allegedly defrauded dozens of pro-life organizations for hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund his first congressional bid, according to an analysis of the recent indictment against him, a state insurance claim and an interview with an insurance lawyer involved in the case….Renzi has positioned himself as staunchly anti-abortion. “The sanctity of human life should always be upheld, and I will continue to fight for the rights of the unborn in Congress,” he said in 2003, as a freshman U.S. representative. In 2006, Renzi received a 100 percent rating from the National Right to Life Committee for his voting record.
Renzi may have embezzled client premiums from “roughly 50 pro-life organizations in ‘a multitude’ of states” through his insurance company, Justin reports.
