Dewhurst Campaign Manager Took at Least $600K

Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst’s (R) campaign manager “is under criminal scrutiny, suspected of stealing at least $600,000 — and possibly more than $1 million — from the Republican’s political accounts over the past several years,” the Dallas Morning News reports.

“The revelations, startling not only in the amount of missing money but also in the apparent brazenness of a campaign insider, have stunned Dewhurst’s close circle of advisers.”
