| Description | Rep. Matt Entenza, who denied Thursday that he has conducted opposition research on his Republican opponent for Minnesota attorney general, on Friday seemed to revise his statement and said his campaign possessed information collected on at least some Republicans.
"I just wanted you to know that we checked our files, and I did want to make clear that we do have some opposition research on Republicans," Entenza said in a voice-mail message left for the Pioneer Press.
The national office of AARP on Friday also made public a written apology from Entenza's campaign manager, retracting a statement earlier in the week that the association, which represents seniors, had produced a report clearing Entenza's wife of wrongdoing in connection with stock options.
And, in another development, an executive of a Chicago political research company that Entenza hired a year ago to check up on Mike Hatch, the current attorney general, declined to talk to Minnesota reporters. Entenza had said Thursday the executive would be available to discuss the research.
The three latest additions to the controversy swirling around Entenza were small developments in themselves. But they kept alive charges by Entenza's Republican opponents that he has not been candid in his unfolding account of events, some of which occurred more than a year ago.
"Nobody knows what to believe from him anymore," Rep. Jeff Johnson, the GOP candidate for attorney general, charged in a news release. |
