| Description | Thomas L. Bromwell Sr., a Baltimore County Democrat in the General Assembly for 23 years, repeatedly describes a former Maryland governor with a vulgar term and uses another profanity to characterize the state's then-lieutenant governor, according to transcripts of the secret recordings made by the FBI and released in federal court this week.
Bromwell, 58, who faces public corruption charges with his wife at a trial expected to begin this fall, also dismisses the Revs. Jesse L. Jackson and Al Sharpton with racial epithets after separate encounters with the civil rights leaders, court documents show.
And the former state senator, once considered among the most influential in Annapolis, acknowledged that he felt compelled to vote a black colleague out of the legislative body because of his race. |
