This guy is in trouble. But he wants to blame someone else. The republicans. 2 others have pleaded guilty already and are going to testify against him. So did the republicans make him do this? No. He is alleged to have done it and indications are that he did........with no help from the republicans. Maybe he could have cried 'racism' since that is the word of the last couple of years.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The mayor of Alabama's largest city is facing a federal bribery trial that could drive him from office and send him to prison if he's convicted.
Prosecutors say Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford took clothing, a Rolex watch and other bribes totaling some $235,000 while serving on the Jefferson County Commission. In exchange, they say Langford steered $7.1 million in county bond business to a political crony's investment firm.
Langford's trial begins Monday in Tuscaloosa.
Langford says everything that changed hands were gifts between friends. He also claims his prosecution is part of a Republican scheme to target Democrats in Alabama.
Two co-defendants who pleaded guilty are expected to testify against Langford.
