Sanders Backs Out of Interview

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) backed out of an interview with Seven Days after the newspaper refused to accept conditions his staff attempted to set.

A spokesman for Sanders said the senator was not interested in answering questions about “political gossip” nor about the senator’s family.

Sanders’ wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders, has been under scrutiny by federal prosecutors over her role leading the now-defunct Burlington college. His stepdaughter, Carina Driscoll, is running for mayor of Burlington.
