Ex-Hawaii lawmakers plead guilty to taking bribes in office
HONOLULU (AP) — Two former Hawaii lawmakers accused of taking bribes in exchange for shaping legislation while in office pleaded guilty Tuesday.
Ty Cullen resigned from the state House of Representatives last week shortly before federal prosecutors announced charges against him and former Senate Majority Leader J. Kalani English.
English retired in May, saying he was suffering from long-term effects of COVID-19. He told U.S. Judge Susan Oki Mollway he’s still receiving long-term COVID-19 treatments twice a week.
