"FBI investigating Florida congressman who hired a mistress; Probe to look at whether federal money misused" by Brian Skoloff, Associated Press | October 17, 2008
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - The FBI is investigating whether Democratic US Representative Tim Mahoney broke any laws or misused federal money when he hired a mistress to work in his office, a senior federal law enforcement official told the Associated Press.
Federal agents also are examining whether another affair Mahoney was having with a high-level official in his Florida district was behind his decision to push for federal emergency funds for her county, the official said.
Mahoney, 52, who is married with a child, began his affair with Patricia Allen, 50, in 2006 while campaigning for Congress. He won that year while promising to return morals and family values to Washington after Republican US Representative Mark Foley resigned amid revelations that he sent lurid Internet messages to male teenage pages who had worked on Capitol Hill. Foley was later cleared of criminal wrongdoing.

The FBI is also looking into whether Mahoney helped Martin County secure a $3.4 million reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for hurricane damage in exchange for sex with a county official in 2007, the federal law enforcement official said.
The funds were approved late last year. A Martin County news release at the time noted "Congressman Tim Mahoney was instrumental" in helping secure the funds. The second affair was confirmed by a person close to Mahoney's campaign who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss Mahoney's private life. --more--"
